A robbery suspect identified as Ismail Adeyemi has confessed that his gang killed the late Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS) 3 winner, Hector Jobarteh.
Jobarteh was the winner of the 2006 Gulder Ultimate Search.
According to Adeyemi, the deceased was shot to death because he and his gang members, KK and Nonso, wanted to rob him and take some money from him.
The suspect stated that KK who was the leader of the gang shot the GUS winner after he was robbed.

He revealed that he and his gang had spotted Jobarteh driving into a close while they were out scouting a place to rob. They tailed him into his compound and carried out the robbery.
Adeyemi denied all allegations against him that he killed the star.
Read his statement below:
“We met a woman inside the compound and asked her the flat that Hector entered, but she refused to cooperate.
It was at that point that KK brought out the gun and threatened to shoot her. She was scared and took KK upstairs. I was downstairs with Nonso when we heard gunshots. KK called us to come upstairs.
We got upstairs and discovered that KK had shot Hector and his father. KK first shot the father and later shot Hector when he came to know what was happening. We snatched Hector’s bag and phone and left.
When we opened the bag, we found only a pair of shoes, boxers and flower. I took his phone. I have done two operations with the gang. The second operation was at Oko- Oba; that was the day KK killed Hector. Even on that day, Nonso and KK were speaking Igbo language. I didn’t understand what they were saying.
When we got there, two of them also spoke with one lady who directed them to the house of the guy. We were three that went for the operation.
When I went to meet KK with the guy, they were arguing. I don’t know what they were arguing about because they both were speaking in Igbo language. We took his hand bag and found only boxers and shoes. There was no money.
I was not the person that shot Hector; it was my friend, KK, who shot him. I even quarrelled with him for shooting the guy.
It was KK that led the robbery operation. When I asked why he shot Hector, he said that Hector wanted to grab him, possibly to struggle with him.
I reminded him that our agreement was to only to rob people and collect their valuables, not to kill. KK got angry and threatened to shoot me. In fact, he even pointed the gun at me."
The Lagos state commissioner of police, Imohimi Edgal, explained that Adeyemi was the prime suspect in the investigation of Jobarteh’s death.
