Three suspected ritualists with a human heart have been arrested by police operatives in Osogbo/OAU Ife Campus Road, Osun State.
The suspects, Olayade Kehinde, 25, Olufemi Oriyomi, 21 and Raimi Sheriff, 21 were arrested last Thursday, April 7 by police detectives on ‘stop and search’ duty.
Giving details on how they were arrested, the command’s spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola, said in a statement on Friday that the trio on a motorcycle, were flagged down by police on ‘Stop and Search’, “but rather than stop, sped off, and were pursued.”
He noted that “The human heart, which they claimed was one of their friends, and various criminal charms, were found on them”.
The police spokesman noted that one of the suspects, Oriyomi fell sick and was taken to hospital for treatment, but unfortunately, died while on admission.
His corpse, according to her, has been deposited at the State hospital for autopsy.
“The remaining two suspects will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation,” she said.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Olawale Olokode, however, advised parents to monitor their children, and warn them against bad company they might be moving with.
He also admonished the youths “to always engage in lawful business, and shun anything that will jeopardize their brighter future, which includes all forms of ‘get rich quick’ syndrome.”
