Nigerian US Army deserter, Allen Williams Abiodun, 52, who was 
arrested on February 20, 2013, for allegedly killing his younger 
brother, a Merchant Navy personnel in Imude community, Oto Awori Local 
Government area  of Lagos, has finally opened up on why he committed the
 dastardly act.
The six-footer confessed  to Crime Alert  that he stabbed the 
deceased,  Allen Olawale Ayetimi,24,to death, following  continuous 
threat on his life by Olawale.
The late Olawale was reportedly sleeping  when Williams  allegedly stabbed him in the head, neck and jugular.
After allegedly committing the devilish deed, Williams reportedly 
dumped Olawale’s remains  in an uncompleted building foundation behind 
their compound and,covered it with leaves.
Report said he thereafter,  took his late brother’s ATM card,  Merchant Navy uniform and phone.
Crime Alert gathered that the deceased only returned from an official
 trip to  Port Harcourt at about 11pm that fateful day. Although, he  
was based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State,  his mission to Lagos, as 
reliably gathered, was to settle a score between his elder brother and 
their mother.
On arrival,the late Olawale reportedly washed his uniform, took his 
bath  and shared a brief moment with his mother and siblings in the shop
 they were confined to,during which he informed them of his intention to
 convince his brother to accept them back to the main building,unaware 
that he would never live to see his mission accomplished.
Before retiring to the bedroom which he shared with his elder 
brother, Olawale  was said to have instructed one of his sisters to boil
 water for him to bath the next morning.
Apprehension set in next day, after his sister went to inform him 
that the hot water was ready, only to discover his blood-stained clothes
 on the floor without any sight of him. As she was about to leave, she 
reportedly met Williams, who informed her that Olawale had gone to the 
bank.
Unsure of what to do, she reportedly  alerted her mother who raised  alarm that created a scene in front of the building.
A  neighbour who claimed to have seen Williams dragging what he 
suspected to be Olawale’s body into the bush told Crime Alert:  “I came 
out  at about 1 am to ease myself, only to notice some movements. Out of
 curiosity, I peeped to see what  it was, only to find Williams dragging
 something on the floor.
“When I finished from the toilet, he was returning from where he 
went.  I noticed his hands were stained with blood  and out of 
curiosity, I asked where the blood came from and he said he just killed a
 goat. Since  I  did not suspect anything, I went inside to sleep. It 
was when I heard a shout from their compound in the morning that I was 
compelled to  disclose what happened.”
This revelation reportedly led to William’s arrest after which he was handed over to the police.
However in this interview with Crime Alert at the State Criminal 
Investigations Department, Yaba, Monday,  where he was paraded alongside
 some robbery suspects that have been terrorizing Lagos,  it was 
observed that Williams was not coherent with his words. He simply stated
 that the deceased was never his brother.
According got him, “He is not my brother. He is Ogunmadede’s son. 
What happened on that  very day  was that as I was in my room at 
midnight, somebody pointed a  torch light in my face. And I said hey 
man, you know you have been threatening me. The next thing I did was to 
reach for a cutlass. I moved over and stabbed him in the head in order 
to act  safe. It did not look easy for me to kill him”
Asked why he chased his mother and siblings from the main building, 
he denied that stating:   “ I am a US soldier for your information.  I 
only escaped and returned home in 1992 because of a lady I fell in love 
with from the Ogunmade family in Ondo State. But when I returned, she 
dumped me and I could not go back”.
Back to the question about his mother, he said, “I did not chase my 
mother away. In fact, she was in her office in Ikeja when the incident 
occurred”.
Asked how that was possible since he said the incident occurred at 
midnight,  he simply stared at this reporter. At a point,  he started 
behaving funny like one who is mentally deranged, saying things that 
were not relevant to the issue at hand.
Investigation carried out in his community revealed that he was  
feigning to be mentally deranged, in order to be let off the hook.
One of his relatives who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “ He 
has never had any mental problem since I knew him. He is just pretending
 so  that one will think he is a mad man”.
Meanwhile, his mother and siblings are currently gripped with fear 
over the possibility of Williams’ release. But police operatives assured
 they would conduct a test on him to ascertain his mental state before 
charging him to court.
