A 35-year-old suspect identified as Timothy Odeniyi, has revealed that he harvested some human parts after being promised a total sum of N30 million.
Odeniyi made this revelation while being paraded by the operatives of the Ondo state Amotekun Corps.
During the parade, the suspect confessed to have cut off hands and legs of some corpses in a cemetery located at Sabo axis of Ondo town, the headquarters of the Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.
The suspected ritualist said he was sent by his former boss to deliver the human parts to Lagos state, after which he will be paid a total of N30m.
In his words: “I went to the cemetery to cut the legs and hands of one of the bodies buried there. I had planned to deliver the parts to the person who sent me in Lagos before I was apprehended. Once I deliver the items, he promised to give me N30 million.
“The burial ground I went is in Ondo town’s Sabo axis to chop the parts; I didn’t kill anyone, and it was my first time. I used to drive a trailer.
“When I used to drive a truck, the man who sent me used to be my supervisor. I used to throw the parts in the trash, and he’ll send people to pick it up.”
Meanwhile, the state Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, rejected the claims, saying preliminary investigation revealed that the 35-year-old suspected allegedly murdered someone before he dismembered the victim’s body.
“We have a suspect in our custody, Timothy Odeniyi who was caught and arrested with legs and hands of human being wrapped in paper.
“Upon interrogation, he took us to where he severed the body of the person killed and hurriedly buried the person in a shallow grave,” Adeleye said.
This is coming on the heels of a recent case involving three teenage boys who were arrested for killing and burning the head of a girl, said to be in a relationship with one of them, for money ritual in Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
