Arraigned ritualists admit using human heads to make money

An Oyo State Magistrates Court, sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan, the state capital, on Tuesday arraigned two men, Saheed Adeyemi and Michael Edemba after they confessed to their involvement in money rituals using human heads.

DAILY POST recalls that the 33-year-old ritualist, Adeyemi and his 60-year-old customer, Edemba, were arrested by men of the Omi-Adio police division attached to the state Police Command on February 1 with human head meant to be used for money rituals.

According to the police prosecutor, Mr. Ken Brasana, Edemba confessed that he wanted to engage in money ritual to ease his financial difficulty.

“The herbalist, Adeyemi, walked into the ambush la!d by the police while he tried to remove the human head wrapped in a black polythene bag, which was hidden beside a shop at Abidogun Junction, Omi- Adio.

“The duo is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and unlawful possession of human skull,” the prosecutor added.

The two suspects, however, pleaded guilty to the two-count charge preferred against them.

In his ruling, Magistrate R.A. Ebeloku-Mustapha admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N200, 000 with two reliable sureties each.

Mustapha adjourned the case till March 13 for presentation of fact of the case by the police.
