The two suspected ritualists, Kunle Oyewole and Morufat Safiu were paraded alongside other suspected criminals at the Police Headquarters, Eleyele Ibadan by the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Adewale Osifeso.
According Mr Osifeso, a discreet intelligence gathering carried out by a team of policemen attached to the Command Monitoring Unit, uncovered the criminal activities of some notorious hoodlums who specialise in selling human skulls and other vital human organs for ritual purposes in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Sequel to this discovery, he said the operatives of the Monitoring Unit cracked down on the ritualists in their hideout at Orita Aperin area of Ibadan.
The Police PRO said eleven members of the criminal gang who later identified themselves as: IBRAHIM SHERIF ‘M’, AFEEZ YINUSA ‘M’, ABDULRAHEEM MURITALA ‘M’, TUTILAWA TIJANI ‘M’, OLASUPO AKEEM ‘M’, OYEWOLE KUNLE ‘M’, ADEDIRAN ISAMIL ‘M’, WAHAB ISAMIL ‘M’, SAFIU MORUFAT ‘F’, KAZEEM TAWA ‘M’ and KAZEEM RUKAYAT ‘F’, were arrested in their hideouts.
Upon interrogations, the suspects confessed to the crime and explained that the dry human skulls were harvested from corpses at burial grounds while the fresh human head and fresh body organs were harvested from persons after being illegally killed by their kingpin, SAFIU RAMON aka AMULUDUN who is now at large.
The Police Spokesman said investigation has commenced to arrest the fleeing suspect.
