The concrete walls of Ibara prison rise grey and absolute against the skyline of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. Barbed wire crowns its perimeter fence as armed officers patrol the walkways. But on an evening in early 2026, a man serving time inside those walls opened a TikTok account, tapped a screen, and went live.
His name is Elijah Oyebode; He is on death row.
On 22 December 2016, according to a Certified True Copy of court proceedings at the Osun State High Court — Suit No. HIK/6C/2017, Mr Oyebode conspired to kill Rofiat Adebisi, a final-year student of Osun State University’s Ipetu Ijesha campus. She stood by a roadside on the said day waiting for a vehicle to Osogbo. Mr Oyebode carried her in his car and took her to a place where he had her murdered for rituals.
The court’s CTC, obtained by this reporter, shows that Mr Oyebode gave conflicting accounts of Ms Adebisi’s death.
In one statement to investigators, he said he negotiated a sexual agreement with the deceased for ₦2,000, drove her to his rented apartment, had sex with her, and went to bathe. On returning, he claimed he found her motionless on his bed and later dumped her body by the roadside.
