Suspected Ogun ritualist admits buying human legs for N20,000
The suspect, who had been on the run since January when his other accomplices were arrested, was accused of trying to bribe policemen with N1 million last week.
He was paraded alongside other 12 suspects at the State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta on Wednesday, May 3.
This is what he said “I truly bought two fresh human legs, but I was not involved in the murder of the victim. I was approached by my friend, Lukman, who told me he had a pair of legs to sell. I told him I did not need them, but he convinced me to use them for ritual to better my life, and I agreed.
When I told him I was not taught how to make money rituals as a traditionalist, he referred me to one of his friends Oye, popularly known as Egbeji in Isiwo.
After learning from that his friend, I burnt the legs and kept same, with plans to complete the ritual when I get to Ajah.
But, my daughter called me while I was at Ajah that policemen came to search for me. So, I later sneaked in and took away the burnt legs so that I would not be caught with any evidence.
I did not offer the police any bribe. When I heard that the police were on the lookout for me, a lawyer told me to get N10 million to set myself free, but I told him I could not raise the money. However, I was able to raise N1 million.
Unfortunately for me, the lawyer claimed that I had informed someone about him asking me for money. He then instructed me to place the money in front of him and he took a picture, and then I was arrested. I never offered police money.”
