Two suspected ritualists have been arrested by men of Ogun State Command of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria with the corpse of a 17-year-old girl.
It was gathered that the suspects, Yewanu Tailoju and Asamo Soji, lured the girl, Taye Gusau in Idosemo, Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, who was hawking puff-puff after school into the bush and murdered her.
Adebodun Omotolani, the State Public Relations Officer of the VGN, who stated this, said that the suspected criminals reportedly dumped the body of the victim in a well at an abandoned plot of land at Igude, after her head had been severed.
Omotolani explained that “four days ago, the parents of the girl, when they did not see their child reported to the VGN, who swung into action, leading to the arrest of 35-year-old Yewenu Tailoju”.
“It was Tailoju that named his partner Asamo Soji, who is now in Police net and confessed to killing the young girl for money rituals”.
“He later took officers of the VGN to where her corpse was dumped after severing her head and hands, while her intestines were also removed”.
The Commandant of the VGN, Olanrewaju Adedoyin, who advised members of the public to always avail the group with information, said the VGN was poised to taking community policing to a level that would reduce crime in the society.
He said the case would be properly handed over to the Nigerian Police for further investigations and prosecution.
