Operatives of the Ogun State police command have arrested one Taiwo Yemitan for unlawful possession of a human head and dismembered body parts of a female victim identified as Darasimi.

The suspected ritualist, aged 45, who was arrested at about 1:40 am on Sunday, had lured Darasimi to his residence in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta.

The police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirming the incident to DAILY POST on Sunday said, the arrest followed a tip-off from local security outfits, the Agbekoya and the Vigilante operatives in the area.

Odutola noted that Yemitan, on interrogation, confessed to killing the victim and naming two other individuals, Kehinde Yemitan and one Kazeem, who are at large as his accomplices.
She said, ” The suspect admitted to knowing the deceased identified as Darasimi, who he lured to his residence with the intent to kill her.

”He confessed to the murder, naming two other individuals, Kehinde Yemitan and one Kazeem, second name unknown, as accomplices in the criminal act. Their intention was to sell the victim’s head and other body parts”.

Odutola noted that the dismembered body had been taken to the State General Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta morgue for post-mortem examination.

Odutola noted that the suspect would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for a thorough investigation and efforts were underway to arrest the accomplice and locate the victim’s relatives.

The police spokesperson lamented that a similar incident occurred early in the year where a suspect, Azeez Adebayo, confessed to killing three ladies whom he and his accomplice lured through hookups.

According to the police spokesperson, Adebayo and his syndicate confessed that they lure beautiful young ladies from a HOOKUP SITE called “MY CHAT” by enticing them with juicy amounts of money.

Odutola, however, cautioned young ladies to be wary of using online dating services negatively and suggested that they use social media’s beneficial aspects to improve their safety by being watchful and cautious.
