Bugaje, during interrogation by the Police said he and eight others were responsible for the murder of the two traditional rulers.

He said his team was responsible for the murder of the kings. He said each of them was armed and that the guns were usually kept at Ayedun in the bush near Ayebode.
Baguja spoke in smattering Yorùbá claiming that he hailed from Ilorin.
Security experts however told TheYorubaTimes that his claim that he came from Ilorin is a ruse, a decoy.
‘There are Fulani from Ilorin but every Fulani in Ilorin speaks fluent Yorùbá language.
The way he spoke indicated that he is Fulani but not from Ilorin’ a Police intelligence officer reported.
