Three
men are being held by the police in Akure, Ondo State capital for the
murder of three female students of Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo
town for money ritual.
John Adenitire, aka Emir; Fasayo Fasanu,
aka Abore and Alfa Abdulrafiu Tijani, a herbalist, claimed they killed
the students and removed their left breasts and hands after they were
promised N5million for each of the breasts and hands by suspected
ritualists.
They confessed to have subsequently buried the remains of their victims in the thick forest. Meanwhile,
the suspects said they had delivered the breasts and hands to the man
who linked them to the ritualists but were yet to be paid for the job
when they were arrested by the police.
The middleman, identified
as Sile, now at large, has been declared wanted by the police while the
composing bodies of two of the victims, Blessing Oladepo and Mary
Oluwasemilore, have been recovered by detectives from the shallow graves
where they were buried in the forest. Sile’s clients, it was learnt, had their base in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State.
First
to be arrested was Adenitire who led police detectives to other
suspects and where the decomposing bodies of two of the three students
were recovered. The place of the burial of the third victim, whose name
was not disclosed, was yet to be ascertained by detectives. Sources
said the three students began their ill-fated journey when they left
their rented apartments outside the Adeyemi College of Education campus
for an unknown destination.
After they left home, the victims
were said to have been carried on motorbike by Adenitire and Fasanu who
posed as Okada riders. At that point, the three girls were believed to
have been hypnotised, diverted from their destination and taken to the
forest where they were killed.Tijani, according to sources, was the
person who received the breasts and hands removed from the girls bodies
and, in turn, gave them to Sile before the middleman disappeared without
paying the promised N15million.
