The 39-year-old man was arrested and paraded alongside his herbalists, accomplices and other 16 criminals at the state police headquarters in Akure, the state capital.
Babalola who said he killed his intimate friend and snatched his motorcycle at Okeigbo in the Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo local government area of the state, also confessed to have killed five persons including his cousin.

Narrating how he used to kill his victims, the suspect said, “Whenever they recognise me, I will drag and kill them with a stick, take their motorcycles and cut parts of their bodies for rituals.”
While disclosing that he had been in the trade since 2021, Babalola revealed that they carry out their operations within the town and neighbouring states.

According to him, “I have killed five people including my cousin and my friend and snatched their motorcycles. I killed Opeyemi, who is my friend and sold the motorcycle to a man in Ibadan called Taoheed. I do not sell human parts but I took part of one of my victims’ bodies to an herbalist in Ondo who promised to give me an Ifa Oracle.

“At the point where we snatched motorcycles, anyone who struggled with me in the process got hit on the head with a fat stone and a stick.”

Another suspect, Quadri Lawal and his cohorts confessed that he cut off one of his victim’s heads into two, one part for his colleague and kept the other for ritual purposes.

The 35- year-old man who recounted the events, said, “While hunting in the bush, I stumbled upon the lifeless body of a woman, which I then informed Oluawo about.”

He continued, “Oluawo requested that I extract certain body parts, which I complied with by cutting off a portion of the human head. One part was kept in my residence while the other was handed over to Oluawo as requested.”

Lawal said they used and turned the head into black soap for people for different purposes mainly for money making.

He said, “We used to cut human parts on demand by some people ‘big men’ and we use them for black soap making.“

Parading the suspects, the Ondo State commissioner of police, Abayomi Oladapo, said other suspects involved in the kidnapping at Ofosu in Idanre, those who killed one evangelist Opeyemi Oyelakin and two herbalists who cut human parts for money ritual business.

Oladapo said the command had also arrested a suspected hired assassin who confessed to having killed over 500 people and was paid to kill the owner of a pure water factory in the state.
