According to the state commissioner of police, Mr
Imohimi Edgal, the two suspects, Tajudeen Aremu Makanjuola 65, a.ka. Oluwo and Tunde
Ajibolorunsoro 57, a.k.a. Professor, carried out the deed
on September 15, at the Meiran area of Alagbado, Lagos.
Edgal alleged that the two men
specialized in kidnapping of infants and young persons in the state for ritual
purposes
According Edgal, one of the suspects
Tunde confessed to have sold the child for N 60,000 to Makanjuola his friend.
Edgal further noted: “Only God knows
what the buyers do with these children. Investigations are still ongoing to
arrest every member of the gang.”
Makanjuola, however, denied being
involved in such a dreadful deed. He explained that he is a tradomedical
herbalist. He said that he was shocked that his friend, Tunde, fingered him as
a buyer of the missing child.
Makanjuola said: “I don’t what Tunde
is talking about. I don’t know anything about any kidnapped or missing girl.
Tunde implicated me and I don’t know why. He even said I should forgive him for
implicating him.”
The suspected seller, Tunde, confessed
to have lied against Makanjuola. According to Tunde, he had to mention his
innocent friend because policemen pressurized him to mention someone.
In another development, Mr Olamilekan
Alatise, who allegedly masterminded the abduction of a four-year-old Juliana
Taye at a shrine in Iwaya, Yaba for sacrificial purpose, has confessed. Alatise
was alleged to have abducted the girl on July, 24. He fingered his sister and another suspect,
who is on the run as part of the people that carried out the dreadful act.
