Two brothers identified as Tajudeen Monsuru and Tajudeen Lawal are in the police custody for operating a ritual den in Osun State.
The suspects ran out of luck when a woman identified as Mutiat Alani went missing and the police launched an investigation into the matter.
A resident, simply identified as Olaide said that a manhunt was launched for the missing lady. “The telephone of the missing woman was tracked to one vulcanizer who told the police that he got the phone from one of the siblings.
“He led the police to the house of the ritualists and they were arrested. Irate youths burnt down the house after corpses were recovered on Monday night. We are still in fear of the incident,” he said.
Spokesperson of the Osun State Police Command, Mrs. Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the arrest of the two siblings caught with mutilated corpses.
She said: “We arrested two ritual killers, Tajudeen Monsuru and Tajudeen Lawal. A woman identified as Mutiat Alani was reported missing. We commenced an investigation. The telephone of the missing woman was found with Monsuru.
“The police went to the house and recovered two mutilated corpses. They discovered decomposing bodies. They confessed that they killed many people but only two corpses were recovered. They killed for rituals to help those that patronise them,” she added.
The suspects will be charged to court immediately after investigation is concluded, says police.
