Seven men have been arrested in Ogun State for allegedly killing a lady, Sulaiman Adijat, for money ritual.
Adijat, aged 35, had been declared missing after going out on a date with one of the suspects, Adebayo Azeez.
Among the suspects rounded up and paraded at the State Command are: white garment churches’ pastors and herbalists including Sherifff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria.
Agbai and Alioneitouria it was said, approached a herbalist, Oluwo Samuel, for a money ritual that would land them N200m over which the latter enlisted the services of other suspects and culminating in their killing of Adijat.
Speaking while parading the suspects on Thursday, the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu said, “Investigation revealed that on November 19, 2023, one Sherifff Agbai, ‘m’, and Osojieahen Alioneitouria, ‘m’, contacted Oluwo Samuel Monday, ‘m’, a.k.a Oluwo Mandela to perform a money ritual known as ‘Oshole’ that can produce N200m within seven days, and Oluwo Samuel Monday charged the duo of Sherifff Agbai, ‘m’, and Osojieahen Alioneitouria, ‘m’, the sum of N800,000 and agreed to prepare the materials for the money ritual.
“Oluwo Samuel Monday ‘m’ in furtherance of his criminal intention later contacted one Peter Oluwalolese, ‘m’, who was not new in the trade of human parts, to source for a lady between the ages of 18 years and 20 years to deliver her mutilated body parts, specifically the head, two breasts, virginal and her two wrists that will be used for money ritual.
“Peter Oluwalolese ‘m’ who is an acclaimed prophet of a white garment church located in Ibadan, Oyo State, contacted another colleague of his, one Prophet Jamiu Yusuf ‘m’ a.k.a Eri Moses, in Lagos State, who is notorious in the supply of human parts for ritual purpose. Prophet Jamiu Yusuf further contacted one Abidemi Moses ‘m’ a.k.a. Asela, an herbalist at Atan Ota, Ogun State.”
The search, report said, made Azeez to invite Adijat on a date to a hotel in the Atan area after he had negotiated the sum of N300,000 to provide human parts for the syndicate.
Subsequently the victim ended up at Moses’ shrine where she was killed with her body dismembered before the team moved to Moses’ house where Oluwo took the body parts and burnt them in a local pot and thereafter killed a ram to appease the soul of Adihjat.
But trouble emanated among the syndicates when Agbai and Alioneitouria started complaining that the ritual did not produce gratifying results and demanded for a refund of what they paid for the ritual.
“A search was conducted in the shrine of Abidemi Moses on February 3, 2024, and ten female handbags, two 25 litres gallons containing human parts, one axe, and two cement sacks containing human bones were recovered from his shrine at Igbo Olomi, Atan Ota. The relative of the deceased later came to the police station and identified one of the 10 bags that were recovered as the handbag of their daughter Sulaimon Adijat,” the CP said further.
