Problem in Ogun State as another couple are caught with human parts.

Men of Ogun State Police Command on Saturday arrested a couple for being in possession of different fresh human parts at Kemta area of Abeokuta.

 

The command’s spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi in a statement revealed that the suspects, Kehinde Oladimeji, 43 and his wife Adejumoke Raji, 35, who are residents of 72 MKO Abiola Way Leme Abeokuta were said to be arrested following a report lodged at Kemta Divisional Headquarters by one Chief Moshood Ogunwolu, the Baale of Leme Community.

The baale was said to have reported that one Pastor Adisa Olarewaju who is a co-tenant with the suspects informed him of offensive odour coming out from the room of the suspects.

Upon the complaint, the DPO, Kemta Division, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle quickly led his detectives to the scene where a search was conducted.

“On searching the room, a plastic bowl containing fresh different parts of human flesh was discovered in the room, and the couple were promptly arrested.

“On interrogation, the suspects confessed they were herbalists and that the human parts comprising hands, breasts and other parts, were given to them by one Michael who they claimed resided in Adatan area of Abeokuta.

“All efforts to locate the said Michael proved abortive as the suspects could not locate his house,” Oyeyemi said.
