Oyeyemi said detectives unraveled the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the man and discovered that Abel was the person who came to pick the missing man from his house on the fateful day.

“Upon the discovery, the said Abel was traced and arrested.

“During interrogation, Abel confessed that the victim, who happened to be his bosom friend, was lured out by him and taken to his second accomplice, Adeniyi’s farm where he was killed and butchered to pieces.

“He confessed further that it was one herbalist who was introduced to him by Pastor Ajadi that requested a human head, heart, two hands and legs.

“He stated further that the said herbalist who is now at large promised to pay him the sum of N200,000 if he is able to get the listed human parts for him.

“He explained further that the herbalist paid N80,000 as advance payments with the promise to pay the balance of N120,000 after receiving the items.

“After collecting the advance payment, Abel went to his friend, Muyiwa, and asked him to escort him somewhere.

“Being a long time friend, the victim, who didn’t suspect any foul play, followed him innocently, and he was taken to the farm of Adeniyi where they killed him and dismembered his body.

“His head was cut off, the heart was also removed.”
