A d+ath row inmate at the Ibara Custodial Centre in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has been found operating active TikTok accounts, hosting livestreams, receiving monetary gifts and interacting freely with users despite being sentenced to d+ath for m¥rder.
Elijah Oyebode was convicted in 2019 for the m¥rder of Rofiat Adebisi, a final-year student of Osun State University, who was k+lled for r#tual purposes in 2016. During his trial, he denied involvement, but the court found him guilty based on evidence and sentenced him to d+ath by hanging.
A report by Premium Times revealed that Oyebode maintained at least two TikTok accounts, including one that reached Level 20 gifting status, indicating significant financial activity. He also allegedly created a fake account using the identity of TikTok host and activist Omolola Awoyele before admitting to it after being confronted.
During a TikTok livestream, Oyebode also claimed many inmates at the prison have access to mobile phones and the internet. He alleged that correctional officers help smuggle phones into the facility, while other officers seize the devices and demand money before returning them, exposing what he described as an illegal phone-smuggling and extortion network within the prison.
