According to a statement made available to the media by the by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumiyiwa Adejobi on Saturday, Killaboi has been on the run since he was accused of murdering Miss Augusta Oseodion Onuwabhagbe, a 21-year-old student of Lead City University, Ibadan, at his residence in Lagos, on July 13, 2023.
Adejobi revealed that Killaboi escaped from a prison in Sierra Leone and has been operating under the alias Toure Abdoulaye with a fake passport in Qatar.
The statement read in part: “Further intelligence gathering revealed that the suspect continued to evade law enforcement, traversing multiple regions including West Africa, East Asia and the Middle East, under forged identities before eventually relocating to Doha, Qatar on 24th January, 2025. Operating under the alias “TOURE ABDOULAYE” with a fraudulent Guinean passport, he secured illegal employment and concealed his identity.
“Through robust international cooperation and the use of advanced biometrics, INTERPOL NCB Abuja, in collaboration with INTERPOL NCB Doha, confirmed his identity, leading to his arrest by Qatari authorities in February 2025.
“An official extradition request, processed via the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja, was subsequently approved by the Qatari judicial authorities, resulting in his repatriation to Nigeria.”
