Suspected Ritualistis Who Exhume Corpses Nabbed In Osun State
The Osun State Security Network Agency’s Amotekun Corps has taken down a group that excavates bodies and removes their parts for rituals.
The three suspects are identified as Wakeel Baka, a herbalist, Akeem Hamzat, a 56-year-old chauffeur, and 43-year-old mechanic Kamilu Kehinde, according to a statement released by the Osun State Amotekun spokesperson on Tuesday, December 12.
Brown stated that they were all arrested following intelligence received by the operatives of Iwo Command.
He said: “On interrogation, the suspects made confessional statements that they were into the business of exhuming corpses from graves; which they then sell to buyers who need them for money-making rituals; and also that.
“Akeem Hamzat was not actually one of them, but rather one Ogun, who is now at large with an exhumed body part.”
The spokesperson, however, disclosed that the Corps Commander, Osun State Security Network Agency, Bashir Abiodun Adewinmbi, has directed that the suspects be transferred to the Nigeria Police for discreet investigation and possible prosecution.
