A 45-year-old woman identified as Memunat Ayinde has been
slaughtered alongside a commercial motorcyclist, Ibikunle Ajose in the Ado-Odo
area of Ogun State.
It was gathered that Akinde, a fish seller, and the
okada rider who transported her were declared missing on October 1, 2020, after
she left her house at Idoleyin to buy fish at the market.
But, the Ogun State Police Command informed that it has
arrested five suspects who it said confessed to the killing of the two victims.
This was after the woman’s husband reported her missing at
the Ado-Odo divisional police headquarters.
With the report, the anti-kidnapping unit of the Command’s
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) had swung into
action and succeeded in getting the suspects into custody.
Confirming the incident on Wednesday, Spokesman of the State
Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said one of the suspects known as Okediran
Monsuru, was traced to Badagry where he was apprehended.
Oyeyemi said the arrest of Monsuru assisted the police in
nabbing three others, namely: Ajaoba Monday, Akewusola Wajud and Nupo Pona.
According to Oyeyemi, the four suspects had confessed
working for a notorious land grabber, whom they identified as Lebo.
In their confessional statement, the Ogun police spokesman
informed that the suspects admitted that they accosted the two victims along
the road at Abisoye village and kidnapped them to an uncompleted building in a
bushy area.
The suspects were said to have told the police how they tied
the deceased in both hands and legs as they later called their principal on
phone to inform him that they had succeeded in getting two victims.
On his arrival, Lebo had asked them to slaughter the woman
and her okada rider.
“The trio of Okediran Monsuru, Ajaoba Monday and Akewusola
Wajud held the victims down and Nupo Pona slaughtered them with a sharp
cutlass.
“Having killed them, the fifth suspect, Dasu Sunday who is a
herbalist was called to come, and on his arrival, they cut the two victims into
pieces and loaded their parts into a sack brought by the herbalist who took the
parts away for money-making ritual,” the police image maker quoted the
suspects.
It was gathered that the woman’s head was recovered at the
herbalist shrine, as police began a serious manhunt for the fleeing principal
suspect, Lebo.
The case is still being investigated by the police.
