A 38-year-old Alfa, Rasheed Ajibade, who was caught by the Osun State Police State Police Command with fresh human head and other parts, has revealed that he planned to use the parts for money rituals after the current Ramadan fast.
The police had nabbed Ajibade with a fresh human head and other body parts like hands, lungs, liver and blood, which was kept inside a bottle during a stop and search operation in Osogbo, the state capital.
Ajibade, an indigene of Ikirun in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state was arrested in an SUV, which he said belonged to his elder brother.
Addressing reporters at the Osun State Police Command headquarters, the suspect noted that the victim was killed by his client, Olorungbebe who wanted the money ritual.
The Alfa said he had intended to preserve the human parts until after the Ramadan when he would carry put the ritual.
Ajibade said, “I am an Alfa and a herbalist. There is a man, who is also an Alfa; he came to my place and told me that he wanted to do money ritual. I told him that getting the materials needed for the ritual would be difficult but he agreed to bring the materials by himself.
“So, the man came on Wednesday morning from Aagba town with the human parts for the ritual. The body parts he brought are fresh human head, hands, inner parts and vagina. I did not know that he would bring the materials that morning.
“I told him that we are in the Ramadan period and he should wait till after Ramadan before I could do it. This is my first time of doing this kind of money ritual although I do other ones but not this type.
“The man told me he wanted to do money ritual and I told him the difficulty in finding the materials and he told me that he would get them and he did.
“LI am a Muslim and I’m fasting also; even when he brought the human parts I told him that this is not the time for such ‘work’.
“The man told me the situations of things in his life and pleaded with me to help him to do it. He did not want the kind of money rituals, which would not bring huge amount of money. He wanted the kind of ritual which brings huge amount of money.”
Also speaking to reporters, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Finihan Adeoye, vowed to ensure that said Olorungbebe was arrested.
Adeoye said the identity of the female victim has not been revealed.
“We will surely arrest his partner. We want to know how he got those humans parts, where he got them from and the identity of the victim,” Adeoye said.
