Mr. Adebayo Orekoya, aka Bobby Ibadan, has been declared wanted by the Lagos State Police Command following an assasination attempt on the life of Lagos socialite and businessman, Mr. Victor Adelakun, aka Ade Lexus.
Orekoya had allegedly hired three men in Ibadan giving them an advance of N140,000 to carry out this task.
When the men arrived lagos on Saturday, May 10, 2014 they had a meeting at a night club in Allen Avenue Ikeja, to finalize their plans for the operation.
A SARS informant who eavesdropped on their conversation immediately alerted the officer in charge of SARS, SP Abba Kyari.
A team of SARS operatives were sent by Kyari who stormed the night club around 1am and arrested three of the suspects while one of them escaped.
When the police searched the suspects, guns were found on them including a picture of their target.
A police report reads: “Around 1am on May 10, 2014, information was received that four assassins were sent from Ibadan by one Adebayo Orekoya, aka Bobby Ibadan, who lives in Ibadan GRA, Oyo State.
“The instruction given to the assassins was to kill one Ade Victor Adelakun of Ogudu GRA, Lagos.
“Consequently, two SARS teams proceeded to the night club where the suspects were planning their attack. Three men, Ibrahim Lawal, 27; Yomi Olanrewaju, 25; and Emmanuel Adewale, 25; were arrested, while their driver, identified only as Samuel, escaped in a Sienna Spacebus.
“Upon interrogation, the suspects confessed that Bobby Ibadan sent them to kill Ade Lexus, his former business partner. N100,000 out of the N140,000 given to the suspects as mobilisation fee have been recovered as well as a picture of the victim.”
SARS detectives were able to establish contact with Bobby Ibadan using the telephone of one of the suspects.
Bobby Ibadan, who did not know that SARS had arrested his boys, was alleged to have said, “I want that job done today by all means. Go to the night club where Ade Lexus hangs out and go and kill him there. If you don’t see him at the night club, go to his house and get the job done.”
Before the SARS detective could get to Ibadan, he had already escaped.
Ade Lexus was contacted at his showroom on Lateef Jakande Street, Ikeja by the police and he was informed of the failed assasination attempt on his life by Bobby
He thanked SARS men for the “incredible work”, insisting he was still alive because of their efforts.
He said, “I dont understand why Bobby Ibadan would want to terminate my life.
“Bobby is not my business associate, He is not my friend either. A friend of mine in the United Kingdom was the one that introduced him to me. I have met with Bobby only on a few occasions.
“If he had succeeded with the assassination, no one would have suspected him because he does not stay in Lagos and we do not chat often. He told me to lend him money a while ago for a business project, but I turned him down. Maybe that is what made him angry.
“Also, the arrested suspects said Bobby alleged that I snatched his wife. That is not true; I am a happily married man with beautiful children.
“Anyway, I must thank SARS men for this breakthrough. I was surprised to receive a call from the SARS commander that I was the target of an assassination. I did not know the Nigeria Police worked in such a manner, I am impressed.”
