By NewsBits

Two herbalists, Moses Abidemi and Oluwo Samuel Monday, as well as two alleged priests of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Prophet Peter Oluwalolese and Prophet Jamiu Yusuf, were yesterday paraded by the Ogun State command of Nigeria Police over the brutal killing of one Sulaimon Adijat for money rituals.

Also arrested and paraded for the same act were Akinwunmi Ifatosin, Sheriff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria. Parading the suspects at the state Police command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, described them as a gang of hardened criminals, who are not only involved in ritual killings but also deal in large sale of human parts.

Alamutu disclosed that their date with the long hand of the law started on January 9, 2024, when the DPO of Onipanu Divisional headquarters of the Nigeria Police in Atan-Ota received the report of a missing 35-years-old Sulaimon Adijat. Adijat was said to have been invited out on a date by one Adebayo Olawale Azeez of Ajegunle Road, Atan Ota and since then Adijat had not been seen, despite frantic efforts to locate her whereabouts while her mobile phone had been switched off.

The CP revealed that, consequently, a tactical team of the police, specifically the anti-kidnapping unit of the command was drafted to unravel the mystery behind her disappearance. The team embarked on a technical-based investigation, which led to the arrest of the seven suspects who participated actively in the abduction and eventual murder of the missing Sulaimon Adijat.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police said that all the arrested suspects confessed to the alleged crime and their roles. An investigation is ongoing to arrest other fleeing suspects and the case will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is completed.
