    A chilling discovery was made in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, as police operatives arrested a 45-year-old suspected ritualist, Taiwo Yemitan, in possession of a fresh human head and dismembered body parts of a female victim.

    According to SP Omolola Odutola, the command’s spokesperson, Yemitan was arrested at 1:40 a.m. on Sunday at his residence behind Atinsola petrol station, Sanni, Abeokuta. The police acted on a tip-off from local security outfits, the Agbekoya and Vigilante operatives.
    Yemitan confessed to the crime, admitting that he lured the victim, identified as Darasimi, to his residence with the intention of killing her. He also named two accomplices, Kehinde Yemitan and Kazeem, stating that their intention was to sell the victim’s head and body parts.

    The dismembered body has been taken to the general hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, for post-mortem examination. Efforts are underway to arrest the accomplices and locate the victim’s relatives.
    This incident is not an isolated case, as a similar occurrence was reported earlier in the year. Azeez Adebayo, a suspect, confessed to killing three ladies who were lured through hook-up arrangements on a social media platform called “MY CHAT”.
    The police spokesperson warned young ladies to be cautious of online dating sites and hook-up arrangements, emphasizing the need for parents to educate and protect their daughters from potential harm.
