How Police Arrested 2 Brothers Involved In Sale Of Human Body Parts

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects were arrested after they allegedly lured a woman and her 9-year old son for rituals and had contacted buyers to sell the victims in parts before they were arrested.

This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer,  SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed that the suspects were in Police custody undergoing interrogation over their conduct.

He explained that the suspects were arrested following information received at the Oja Odan Divisional Police Headquarters while negotiating to sell humans either in parts or alive, depending on what the buyer wanted for money rituals.

The supposed buyer, Jacob Olorunto, had informed the Baale of the community, who in turn tipped off the Police and the detectives advised Olorunto to play along.

On 27th December, 2022, the suspects called their supposed buyer and informed him that they had a woman and her son for sale, leading to a negotiation of N600,000 price for the two persons.

On 29th December, one of the brothers, Ayomide, went to Ilaro and invited his 45-year old woman friend, Taye Oluwole, to follow him to Oja Odan with her son to celebrate the New Year with his father.

The woman innocently agreed and along the road, they stopped to pick up his brother, Gbenga, the second suspect.

The suspects then took the victims to Igbo Obe area of Oja Odan to meet Jacob Olorunto, where they were rounded up by Policemen and some youths at 12:30 am.

The Police confirmed that the suspects have confessed to the crime.

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered the transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation and prosecution.
