Deadly couple, six others busted for killing, selling woman's body parts in Ogun

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a couple and six accomplices for allegedly killing and selling the body parts of a woman in the state.

The couple, Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun and Salawa Oyenusi Ajalorun, were arrested with six others- Lukman Oladele, Kayode Ibrahim, Bello Akeem, Alebiosu Adebayo, Fatai Rasheed and Fatai Jimoh for kidnapping, killing and dismembering of a 26-year-old mother of two, Oyindamola Adeyemi.


The command’s spokesman, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi in a statement revealed that the suspects were apprehended following a report lodged at Obalende divisional headquarters, Ijebu-Ode by one Ojo Omolara who reported that her neighbour, Oyindamola Adeyemi left home since the morning of Wednesday, 28th of December 2022 but did not return home and that her phone had since then been switched off.

“But the following day, being 29th of December 2022, while a patrol team from Obalende division were on routine patrol, a dismembered body of a lady was discovered by the roadside and the body was taken to a mortuary.

“Fortunately, the mortuary is a stone’s throw away from the house of the deceased and one of the mortuary workers, who knew about the missing person, called the attention of the deceased family to come and have a look at the body brought by the police.

“On getting there, the deceased’s friend, Ojo Omolara was able to identify it through the bra and underwear she put on since her head was already chopped off,” Oyeyemi explained.

According to him, having recognized the body, the DPO, Obalende division, SP Murphy Salami mobilized his crack detectives and embarked on a technical and intelligence-based investigation which led them to Ajalorun, a herbalist whose possession the deceased’s Itel phone was recovered.

“He was promptly arrested, and a search warrant was duly executed in his house, where a container full of human blood later discovered to be that of the deceased was recovered.

“His arrest led to the apprehension of his friend, Lukman Oladele whose house the legs of the deceased were also recovered.

“They both made confessional statements which led to the arrest of other suspects who are buyers of different parts of the deceased’s body,” he added.

Oyeyemi said on interrogation, Ajalorun and Oladele confessed that the deceased was lured to the house of Taiwo who happened to be her male friend, but that as soon as the victim entered, she was pinned down by both Taiwo and Oladele and they subsequently strangled her to death.

“After killing her, they cut off the head, legs and two hands which they sold to their standby buyers to be used for money-making rituals.

“According to them, the legs of the deceased were sold at the rate of N30,000, while the heart was sold at the rate of N50,000 to Akeem Bello, while the person who bought the head is still at large.

“The suspects confessed further that the victim was the third person they have killed in such a gruesome manner,” Oyeyewmi said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
