Security agents
in Ogun State are living up to their billing as they have arrested at least
eight people whose crimes border on murder, kidnap and human rituals.
The state
police command yesterday said it had
recovered the head of a two year-old boy which was severed by a
suspected ritualist at Ofada in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the
state.
The Police
Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement said the
severed head of the boy was recovered in Ibadan.
The boy,
whose mother was raped by the suspected ritualist identified as Mamodu Bashir
Ibrahim, was beheaded last Thursday when his mother, who had him strapped on
her back, went to ease herself in a bush.
Adejobi had
said detectives attached to the Department of Criminal Investigation,
Eleweran, Abeokuta arrested the suspect
who fled the scene immediately he perpetrated the act.
He said: “The suspect took the investigation
team to Mokola area of Ibadan, Oyo State where the head was recovered in a bag
in the bush, Tuesday.
“The
Commissioner of Police, Ogun State, Mr Ikemefuna Okoye, has, however, directed
the detectives to intensify efforts to uncover the buyers and those who engage
in such dirty deals in our society.”
