Ritualist Kills Female Student, Boils, Smokes, Buries Her Human Parts (Photos)

Men of Ogun State police command,
Tuesday, uncovered a ritualist’s shrine at
Eposo-Akaka, Isara, in Remo North Local
Government of Ogun State with
dismembered human parts suspected to
be those of a female student of Gateway
ICT Polytechnic, Morenikeji Owolabi.
The shrine which was made with
corrugated iron sheets in a cubicle form,
contained boiled and smoked human
parts.
Five suspected criminals allegedly
involved in the act.
The boiled human parts, including liver,
intestines and spleen in earthenware
containers, was on a table and a well-
laid arm chair, covered with cloth.
There were also bottles of palm oil and
other liquid forms littering the floor,
while knives and plates were also found
inside.
Near the shrine was a small kitchen
where something that looked like the
victim’s heart was being smoked on fire
outside.
A few metres away from the shrine were
also decomposing legs of the victim dug
out of the shallow grave where they were
buried but the head of the victim and
other parts such as breasts, hands, and
vagina, among others, were not found.
The state commissioner of police,
Valentine Ntomchukwu, who led a team
of newsmen to the shrine located inside
the forest, disclosed that the 21-year-old
victim who hailed from Ekiti State but
lived at Isara, was lured to the shrine by
a herbalist, Femi Awise, who is currently
on the run.
Ntomchukwu said the ritualist-turned
cannibal is a native of Isara who lived at
Jabata area of the rustic town.
He said investigation had commenced to
unravel the circumstances that led to
Morekeji’s murder and the motive
behind it.
Ntomchukwu said the shrine was
discovered through discreet investigation
by his men, saying five persons,
including a motorcyclist that took the
victim to the shrine, had been arrested
in connection with the murder.
The suspects include the Okada rider who
conveyed her to the shrine, Adeyemi
Ademolu, a suspected apprentice to
Awise, Omolaso Taiwo, Lateef Ali,
Akinyemi Dare, and Sokoya Wasiu.
He said: “We were able to locate the
shrine through a discreet investigation
by our men. We were able to track the
Okada rider that took her on his
motorcycle to the shrine.
“I would not know what would make
some people to brutally cut down a girl
in this manner. Five suspects have been
arrested and investigation has
commenced, we will leave no stone
unturned to get the other fleeing
suspects.
The shrine where the heinous crime took
place.
“I am appealing to parents that it is not
only enough to send their children to
school, but they must do follow-up on
them.”
During the commissioner of police’s visit
to the scene, residents of Isara, Eposo
and Ode Remo thronged the shrine of
horror to catch a glimpse.
The motorcyclist confessed that he took
the lady to the area but denied ever
being aware of the existence of the
shrine.
He said while conveying the victim to the
shrine, she spoke with the said Awise
twice on her mobile telephone, giving
her direction.
The local government chairman, Femi
Soyemi, expressed shock at the scary
discovery.
“I was shocked because I never expected
this kind of horrible and brutal thing
exists here,” Soyemi said.
The victim was declared missing since
Saturday, June 7, and it was those who
saw her on the day she was being
conveyed to the shrine by the Okada
rider that gave the information, which
led to his arrest, and final unravelling of
the shrine.
