Two suspected ritualists nabbed by the Police

The Osun State police command on Friday arrested two suspected ritualists who were caught with items believed to be human hairs and flesh. 

This was contained in a statement issued by the command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, who said that the suspects, Ojo Gbadebo and Babatunde Hamsat were caught around Oke Ona, a community along Iwaraja/Erimo road. 

Giving further details of how the suspects were caught, Opalola said that there was a distress call at about 9:30 am by the residents of Oke Ona who reported that they perceived an offensive odor from the bush. This prompted the police, led by the DPO Ijebu Jesa division to comb the bush where the two suspects were arrested. 

The statement partly read, “Upon the arrest of the suspects, human hair and some human flesh full of maggots were discovered in a bag which one of them, Hamsat, was carrying.

Both the suspects and the exhibits are currently at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation.”
