Suspect Confesses to Plans and Involvement in Cult Group

In the video recording of his arrest, Amadasu confessed openly to his intentions. “I was arrested because I wanted to buy an AK-47,” he stated. When asked about his motive, he added, “I was asked to buy AK-47s because I was meant to be number one in the Vikings.”

The police disclosed that the arrest took place at a hotel where Victor was in the middle of negotiating the arms deal. During the interrogation, Victor shared more details about his life, revealing his involvement in various illegal activities.

Admits to Internet Fraud and Regrets His Actions

Beyond his involvement with the cult, Amadasu Victor admitted to managing a car wash business and engaging in internet fraud, often referred to as “Yahoo Yahoo.” He confessed to scamming people online, particularly targeting women. “I have a car wash here that I manage, and I also deal in internet fraud. I deceive white women on the internet by claiming that I love them, and they send me money. I sometimes make ₦8 million but share it with people who connect me,” Victor admitted.

Victor also revealed that he had been a member of the Vikings Confraternity for six years. Despite his efforts to rise within the cult group, he expressed deep regret during the interrogation. When asked by Edafe Bright about his life as a cultist, Victor said, “I feel very sad. Now I know I am actually nothing… no gain at all.”
