He blamed his actions on pressure from an alleged accomplice identified as Sunday, who is currently at large.
Moses, a security guard deployed to the school, confessed while being interrogated by journalists at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command on Friday, August 1, 2025.
As reported by The Punch, he revealed that he and Sunday had planned to kidnap the victims for ransom, initially demanding N250 million before settling for N3 million.
He disclosed that the child and nurse in Clear Hope School were killed despite the payment of N3 million ransom on July 23, 2025.
“What brought me here is that I killed a child with a nurse in Clear Hope School on July 23. Me and my friend, we demanded for N250 ransom. Later on, we later settled for N3 million. Which we collected,” he said.
According to him, the incident took a violent turn when a dispute over the ransom money broke out between him and Sunday.
He added that he later sought help and eventually confessed to the police after receiving treatment in a hospital.
“When we collected the money and were sharing it, that was when we had an issue.”
How the nurse, child was killed
Moses, detailing how the nurse was killed, disclosed that she (the nurse) was lured into a trap under the guise of checking something in a toilet, where Sunday allegedly strangled her with a rope.
Moses said:
“I went to call her from her class, while Sunday was hiding in the toilet. When I called her, I told her I wanted to show her something near the front toilet where Sunday was hiding. As we were going, he came out from behind and held the woman. He put a rope around her neck and started strangling her she struggled but eventually became weak.”
The child, he said, was later also taken and killed at Sunday’s insistence.
Moses said:
“Then he told me to run and go bring the baby so we could also kill the baby. I said no, that the woman alone was enough. He insisted, saying that if we didn’t bring the baby, the ransom we demanded wouldn’t be enough. So, I went and brought the baby.”
When asked how many people he had killed or kidnapped before, he said:
“I have never done such a thing. This was the first time someone pushed me into any evil act.”
Speaking on the development, the commissioner of police, Ajao Adewale, in an interview with The Punch, said the victims were reported missing on July 23, 2025, adding that the police have made key arrest.
