Barely two weeks after four boys were caught ‘roasting’ the head of their girl friend for alleged money ritual, a couple, Kehinde Oladimeji and his wife Adejumoke Raji, who claimed to be herbalists, have been arrested for being in possession of fresh human parts.
The human parts operatives of the Ogun State Police Command caught them with included breasts, hands and others.
Oladimeji, 43, and Raji, 35, were apprehended based on information provided by Chief Moshood Ogunwoolu, the head of Leme community area of Abeokuta, in Abeokuta South Local Government Area of the state.
The couple, in a statement issued by the State Police Public Relations, Abimbola Oyeyemi, resided at No 72, MKO Abiola Way, at the time of their arrest.
Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said that one Pastor Adisa Olanrewaju had told the community head of a foul odour emanating from the couple’s apartment.
Acting on the information, the DPO of Kemta Division, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle, led his men to the scene of the incident, conducted a search and discovered a bowl containing fresh human parts.
The suspects, upon interrogation, confessed to the crime.
They claimed to have received the human parts from one Micheal since they are herbalists.
“On interrogation, the suspects confessed they were herbalists and that the human parts comprises hands, breasts and other parts were given to them by one Michael whom they claimed resided in Adatan area of Abeokuta.
“All efforts to locate the said Michael proved abortive as the suspects could not locate his house,” the statement read.
The PPRO recalled that a dismembered body was found in a swamp around Leme area, about a week ago, but was not certain whether the parts were that of the body found.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to Homicide Section of the state criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for a discreet investigation.
He vowed to bring anyone directly or indirectly involved in the crime to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
