The police also arrested a 19-yearold man, Tobi Ogunkoya, who allegedly lured the teenager into the hands of both Banjo and Adeniyi.
It was learnt that policemen attached to Ago-Iwoye and Ijebu-Igbo Divisions arrested the three suspects yesterday following frantic search for the late Olayinka. Sources said the teenager was killed for ritual purposes as her breasts were severed by her suspected killers.
The acting state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the arrests, said Serifat Adebanjo reported Olayinka’s abduction to the police station in Ago- Iwoye. Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, said the complainant identified Ogunkoya as a suspect in the abduction.
He added that acting on the information, the police stormed a house behind the Baale’s residence in Imosan community and apprehended Ogunkoya, who subsequently confessed that the teenager was in Banjo’s custody in Ijebu-Igbo. Policemen later arrested Banjo and Adeniyi in Ijebu-Igbo and recovered two fresh human hearts as well as a life tortoise from the suspects.
The police spokesman told our correspondent that the herbalist confessed that after killing the girl, her breasts and other vital organs were severed while her remains were thrown into Ogbere River in Ijebu East Local Government Area of the state. He said: “The police have arrested Tunde Banjo, a herbalist, and Nurudeen Adeniyi, an alfa, in Ijebu-Igbo. Banjo said they had killed the girl and her body dumped inside Ogbere River.
“The police are working to retrieve the corpse. Two human hearts and one life tortoise were also recovered from the suspects.”
Oyeyemi added that though the suspects were still in Ijebu-Igbo, they would soon be transferred to the Homicide Section of the state Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.https://newtelegraphonline.com/herbalist-islamic-cleric-kill-severe-teenagers-breasts/
