The Hijab Hitgirl: How a 20-Year-Old Smiled While Confessing to 4 Cold-Blooded Murders 🔥
In July 2018, a quiet young woman in a hijab walked into Ilasamaja Police Station in Lagos.
Officers took one look at her innocent face and thought she was just another girl looking for a friend.
They were dead wrong.
What happened next shocked the entire Lagos State Police Command and became one of the most chilling cases in Nigeria’s cultism history.
Her name was Mariam Abiola — and she was the dreaded “Hit Girl” for the Eiye (Aiye) Confraternity.

From Orphan to Assassin
Mariam wasn’t born a killer.
She grew up poor in Lafenwa, Abeokuta, after losing both parents. Struggling to survive and chasing a prophecy that she would one day become rich and famous, she dropped out of school and ran away to Lagos.
That decision changed everything.
In the tough streets of Ilasamaja, she met the wrong people. A cult leader named Sodiq Oyewunmi (also known as Sodiq Owi) and his group took her in. They gave her shelter, promises of wealth, and something far darker: initiation into one of Lagos’ most feared cults.
She underwent brutal rituals with a native doctor — drinking strange concoctions and receiving “charms” meant to make her fearless. They trained her to handle guns. Then they handed her a mission.
Her job? Eliminate rival cult members.
Mariam didn’t just participate — she became their secret weapon.
Wearing her hijab and flowing jalabiya, she looked completely harmless. No one suspected the young woman quietly approaching them was carrying death under her clothes.

The Murders That Shocked Lagos
According to her own confession, Mariam carried out at least four targeted assassinations.
– She would be given a photo of the target.
– She’d strike at night, sometimes entering homes where the victim slept near family members.
– One shot to the chest. One to the head.
When police asked how she felt after pulling the trigger, her response sent chills down their spines.
She smiled.
She laughed.
She called her victims “flies” — pests that could be swatted away without a second thought.
The rituals had hardened her so completely that killing felt like nothing.

The Shocking Mistake That Led to Her Arrest
Everything came crashing down during a bloody cult clash in Ilasamaja.
Police arrested several cult leaders — including Sodiq himself.
Worried about her “boss,” Mariam made a fatal error: she walked straight into the same police station to inquire about him… while still linked to the weapons and evidence.
Suspicious officers questioned the innocent-looking girl in hijab.
What followed was a confession that left hardened detectives speechless.
Mariam calmly narrated how she murdered four people — smiling and laughing as she spoke.

The Denial and the Drama
When paraded by the police, her cult leaders reportedly tried to distance themselves from her. But Mariam’s detailed confession was too strong to ignore.
She became known as Nigeria’s youngest female cult assassin — a case that exposed how confraternities recruit, brainwash, and weaponize vulnerable young people, especially girls.

Why This Story Should Scare Every Parent & Young Person
This isn’t just another crime story.
It’s a warning about:
– The danger of desperation and broken homes
– How cults prey on dreams of quick wealth
– The terrifying power of rituals and peer pressure
– How appearance can hide pure evil
Watch/Read till the end for the powerful life lesson every young Nigerian needs to hear.
Final Takeaway: No amount of money or “protection” is worth selling your soul and destroying your future. Cultism always ends in blood, regret, or prison.
Mariam Abiola’s story remains one of the most haunting true crime cases in Lagos history — the smiling Hijab Hitgirl who went from innocent orphan to cold-blooded assassin.
