MEN of the Ogun State Police Command on the 28th of April 2023 arrested a member of a notorious ritualist syndicate, who killed and dismembered the body of one Oyindamola Adeyemi at Ijebu-Ode on the 28th of January 2023.
The suspect, 35-year-old Ifasoji Ayangbesan, whose other gang members had earlier been arrested, was apprehended following a painstaking intelligence-based investigation embarked upon by detectives from Obalende Divisional Headquarters, which led them to his hideout at Ijade-Iloti area of Ijebu-Ode.
The suspect, who has been indicted by the earlier arrested members of the syndicate as the person who bought the two legs of the victim, took to flight immediately after he heard that he has been mentioned by his colleagues.
Since then, the DPO Obalende Division, SP Murphy Salami, has detailed his detectives to be on his trail with the view to arresting him and possibly recover the deceased two legs from him and prosecute him with his colleagues-in-crime.
Luck however ran against him when he was apprehended at his Ijade-Iloti hideout on the 28th of April 2023.
Immediately after he was arrested, the suspect made an offer of one million naira bribe to the policemen, which was rejected.
On interrogation, he confessed to being part of the syndicate that killed Oyindamola Adeyemi, and that he was the person who severed the two legs of the deceased which he claimed he used for ritual purposes.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olanrewaju Yomi Oladimeji, who commended his men for their uprightness, has directed that the suspect be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in order to prosecute him with other members of his syndicate.
