Two suspected internet fraudsters, popularly known as “Yahoo Boys”, Friday Abinya Odeh, 21 and Poso Idowu, 20, are in trouble for the alleged murder of a 40-year old man, Abdullahi Azeez, in cold blood over failed money rituals in Ogun State. 
 
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Police operatives from the Ogun State Command have arrested Odeh and Idowu, detained them for interrogation and they have already confessed to have done so on the directives from a native doctor they contacted on Facebook, known as Arab Money.
This was confirmed on Sunday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who said that the suspects were in custody undergoing interrogation over their dastardly conduct.
SP Oyeyemi stated that the suspects killed and cut the victim into pieces and used him for a money-making ritual and disposed other parts of the body at an unknown place.
He said, “The suspects; “Friday Abinya Odeh, 21 years old, and Poso Idowu, 20 years, were arrested following a report lodged at Owode Egba Divisional Headquarters on 9th June, 2022, by the relations of the victim, who reported that the victim left his home at Kobape area on 8th June, 2022 and did not return since then”.
“Upon the report, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, directed the aAnti-kidnapping Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Departments to take over the investigation and unravel the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the man.”
“In compliance with the CP’s directive, the SP Taiwo Opadiran led team subsequently embarked on a technical and intelligence-based investigation, which led them to the hideout of Friday Abinya Odeh on the 22nd of September 2022, where the Airtel Sim card of the victim was recovered.”
“His arrest led to the apprehension of his accomplice, Poso Idowu. On interrogation, the suspects confessed that they kidnapped the victim on the 8th of June 2022 at the Kobape area, at about 7:30 pm, from where they forcefully took him to the bush, killed him, and cut his body into pieces.”
“They confessed further that it was one herbalist, simply identified as Arab Money, who they claimed to have contacted on Facebook that prescribed the ritual for them.
All efforts to recover the remains of the victim proved abortive as the suspects claimed to have disposed of it.”
Meanwhile, CP Lanre Bankole has directed that the suspects be charged to Court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
The suspects may likely be charged for conspiracy and murder but that will be after the conclusion of investigation by the Police.
