According to a source, on November 3, 2019, based on a petition written to the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, through the Commander of the IGP Special Intelligence Response Team, Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari, by one Segun Adeyemi of the missing or sudden disappearance of his daughter, Abosede, on her way back from her place of work on October 15, 2019, the Ogun State annex of the IGP IRT went into action and arrested the 13 suspects, with eight of them still at large.
On how the suspects were netted, the source further disclosed that on the strength of the data by the IRT Ogun State team, one Segun Olaniyi was tracked and arrested.
Olaniyi’s confession led the IRT detectives to Abeokuta and different villages such as Ifo, Itori, Papalanto and Adigbe, where 11 suspects were arrested.
Eight confessed to the kidnapping and killing and buying of the body parts of the victim.
They also narrated how the victim was slaughtered.
They said Olaniyi called Babalola and Ayo on phone to come and do the slaughtering of the woman that was formerly his childhood girlfriend but now married to another man.
Abosede was slaughtered when she visited Olaniyi in his ritual office by the side of a river.
While in his office, Olaniyi told Ayo to go and buy food for the woman who they said felt very tired after a long distance journey.
Olaniyi then put a drug that would make her weak and sleepy.
Olaniyi later told her to go to the stream by the side of his office and wash her hair completely naked.
She was escorted by Ayo and Akambi.
While she was washing her hair, Ayo pushed her head inside the water and brought out a pocket knife and killed her.
Ayo and Akanbi then carried her body out of the water.
On the dry ground, Ayo used his knife to cut the body into pieces.
He separated the flesh and the bones as directed by Olaniyi, assisted by Akanbi.
They later skinned the her dead body to the point that they completely separated the bones from the flesh and cut them to pieces.
They later sold the head, bones and meat to Alfas and a pastor and others who wanted to do money ritual.
Those who could not meet up with the ritual requirements ended up roasting their meat and drank hot drinks with it.
The IRT operatives recovered decomposed human breast, burnt human flesh mixed with liquid substance in a bottle and calabash, one complete human foot, pieces of dry human skull, one Jeep with registration number KTU 801 FP, one Bajaj Boxer motorcycle with registration number JGB 019 VC, one unregistered Toyota Corolla and one Toyota Matrix with registration number AKD 703 FU.
