Ondo state police command has arrested three men for the murder of three female students of Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo town for money ritual.
The men John Adenitire, aka Emir; Fasayo Fasanu, aka Abore and Alfa Abdulrafiu Tijani, a herbalist, confessed to having dismembered the students following a N5million each promise by suspected ritualists.
Further confession revealed they delivered the breasts and hands required but were arrested before payment could be made.
The middleman, identified as Sile, who is now at large is revealed to have his client base in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State.
According to sources the girls were killed after leaving their apartments outside the Adeyemi College of Education campus for an unknown destination. They boarded a bike driven by Adenitire and Fasanu and are believed to have been hypnotised and diverted from their destination and taken to the forest where they were killed.
One of the suspects, Adenitire, narrated the incident to newsmen saying:
“They promised to give us N5 million for a left breast and a left hand and we were able to send three different sets to them but they had not sent the money before the police nabbed us,” the suspect said.
“We killed the three girls and removed their breasts and buried their remains in the forest. We gave the parts to the Alfa and Sile who is also part of us but took to his heels after our arrest.
“I was not there when the victims were killed but I was the one keeping vigil at the entrance of the forest and the operation was successful. I did not participate in the killing.”
The second suspect, Fasanu, said:
“I was in my house when John Adenitire told me he had a business that could lead to cool money for us. He told me it was about ritual and assured me there was no problem.
“We went out the second day around 9:30 p.m. and three girls and one boy were picked and we killed them before removing their parts while Sile took them to herbalists in Ore and Ijebu Igbo.”
