The
suspect, however, denied being a Badoo member. He said: “I was a
Muslim, but later converted to Christianity. I live at 9, Ojokoro
Street, Agric. I was invited to worship there that night by a senior
colleague, Kehinde, at the tailoring shop where I work.”

However,
asked if Kehinde had come to identify him, he shook his head, saying:
