Police Arrest Two Prophets, Five Others For Ritual Killing Of Lady Invited On A Date

Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested seven suspected ritualists connected to the kidnapping of one Adijat Sulaimon at Atan Ota area of the state.

This was contained in a brief circulated by the Command’s Commissioner, CP Abiodun Alamutu, on Thursday.

He did this when he paraded the suspects at the Command Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

According to Alamutu, the 35-year-old victim was reportedly invited out by one of the suspects and did not return till the matter was reported at Onipanu Divisional Police Headquarters on January 9, 2024.

He said a tactical team attached to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Command was drafted to unravel the mystery behind the incident.

He further revealed that a technical based investigation embarked upon by the team led to the arrest of the seven suspects who actively participated in the abduction and eventual murder of the missing Sulaimon.

Alamutu’s words: “The DPO of Onipanu Divisional Headquarters received a report of a missing person on the 9th January, 2024 at about 1000hours, that one Sulaimon Adijat age 35 years was invited out on a date by one Adebayo Olawale Azeez of Ajegunle Road, Atan Ota, Ogun State.

“Since then, the said Sulaimon Adijat has not been seen, despite frantic efforts to locate her whereabouts and her mobile phone has been switched off since the day she was reported missing.

“Consequently, a tactical team, specifically the Anti Kidnapping Unit of the Command, was drafted to unravel the mystery behind her disappearance and as such the team embarked on a technical based investigation, which led to the arrest of the seven suspects who participated actively in the abduction.

“Investigation revealed that on 19th November, 2023, one Sherifff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria contacted Oluwo Samuel Monday, aka Oluwo Mandela, to perform money ritual known as ‘Oshole’ that can produce Two Hundred Million naira within seven days, and Oluwo Samuel Monday charged the duo the sum of Eight Hundred thousand naira (N800,000) and agreed to prepare the materials for the money ritual.

“Oluwo Samuel Monday in furtherance of his criminal intention later contacted one Peter Oluwalolese who was not new in the trade of human parts, to source for a lady between the age of 18yrs to 20yrs in order to deliver her mutilated body parts, specifically the head, two breast, virgina and her two wrists that will be used for money ritual.

“Peter Oluwalolese who is an acclaimed Prophet of a white garment church located in Ibadan, Oyo State, contacted another colleague of his, one Prophet Jamiu Yusuf, aka Eri Mose, in Lagos State, who is notorious in the supply of human parts for ritual purpose.

“Prophet Jamiu Yusuf further contacted one Abidemi Moses, aka Asela, who is a herbalist at Atan Ota, Ogun State.

“Abidemi Moses requested for the sum of six hundred thousand naira to get a lady that can be used for the money ritual.

“Oluwo Samuel Monday negotiated for the sum of three hundred thousand naira for the human body parts.

“Abidemi Moses is a herbalist and he serves as an apprentice to one Adebayo Olawale Azeez, now at large, to harvest human parts for sale, a business he has enjoyed the proceeds for the past three years.

“Hence, on 9th January, 2024, Adebayo Olawale Azeez invited one Sulaiman Adijat on a date to Sunshine Hotel, Atan Ota, and she was later taken to Abidemi Moses shrine at Igbo Olomi area of Atan Ota, Ogun State.

“She was killed by Abidemi Moses and others now at large, and her dismembered body parts were taken to Abidemi Moses’s house at Atan Ota to meet Oluwo Samuel Monday and Prophet Peter Oluwalolese, who were waiting for the arrival of the body parts.

“Oluwo Samuel Monday collected the head, two breasts, virginal, and two wrists and other body parts of the deceased, prepared the body parts in a local pot, and lighted firewood to burn it in Abidemi Moses’s house till the next day.

“Prophet Peter Oluwalolese joined Oluwo Samuel Monday to kill the ram that was used to appease the spirit of the deceased during the process of performing the money ritual.

“Prophet Peter Oluwalolese and Prophet Jamiu Yusuf were also given some body parts of the deceased.

“On 10th January, 2024, Sheriff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria collected the money ritual from Oluwo Monday Samuel and travelled back to their location in Edo State.

“Trouble started when Osojieahen Alioneitouria used the money ritual element as directed by Oluwo Monday Samuel, and they both complained bitterly that the money ritual failed to yield the expected sum of Two hundred million (N200,000,000) in seven days despite having used if for three weeks.

“A search was conducted in the shrine of Abidemi Moses on the 3rd February, 2024, and 10 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 hand bag of their daughter, Sulaimon Adijat.

“Meanwhile, all the arrested suspects confessed to the alleged crime and their individual roles.

“Investigation is ongoing to arrest other fleeing suspects and the case will be charged to court as soon as investigation is completed.

“Members of the public will be duly updated.”
