SUSPECTED ritualists arrested by Operatives of Ogun State
Police Command have said they buy human parts for N12,000.....
They were caught
with fresh and dried human parts. The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu,
who paraded the suspects at the office of the State Command’s Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, FSARS, said the four suspects belonged to two syndicates. He said one of the syndicates, comprising Mudashiru, 36, and
Abass, 30, who reside at Baase compound, Totoro Abeokuta, were arrested by operatives
of FSARS. Iliyasu said members of the syndicate were sighted on a motorcycle
with a suspicious bag by the operatives, who were on township patrol, and were
forcefully stopped and searched. Iliyasu added that items recovered from them
were fresh and dried human parts, human skull, some dead lizards and charms,
describing them as serial killers. According to him, the other syndicate
comprising Aremu, 67, and Shodipo, 30, were arrested at Owode-Egba area of the
state on same day. He explained that operatives of FSARS received information
about them, trailed them and arrested them with human skulls and bones.
Confession Mubashir, while speaking with newsmen, confessed that he and his
partner in crime, Bashir, paid N12,000 for the human parts. He, however, denied
that they were ritualists, saying they were looking for how to get quick money.
While speaking with newsmen, a 67-year-old Aremu said he was a farmer and
herbalists and not ritualists, claiming that he had been in the business for 20
years and that all the charms and other items were meant to help people. He
claimed that he had once told Shodipo to bring human skull for ritual purpose.
