Ogunnaike Philip: Self-confessed serial killer wants death

In addition, the 29-year-old appealed to prison officials and relevant security agents to give him food on the day of his desired execution.

His words:

"I want authorities to arrest Danjuma, and others who call themselves Eiye cult members. They are the ones that turned me into this.
"When my accomplices have been arrested, there is no need to waste time in court, they should go and kill us. But before we are executed, I have been thinking about this, it might sound funny, but I will say it: they should buy food for me on the day we would be executed. They should get me the food, then they should kill me for the crime I have committed."

Furthermore, Philip explained that he made the resolution because the girls he killed also probably ate moments before their murder.
