Police Arrest Ogun Man With Fresh Head, Other Body Parts Of His Female Guest

Taiwo Yemitan, a 45-year-old suspected ritualist, has been apprehended by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command after being found in possession of a fresh human head and dismembered body parts of a female victim in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta.

SP Omolola Odutola, the command’s spokesperson, announced the arrest in a statement released on Sunday, revealing that Yemitan was taken into custody at approximately 1:40 am at his residence located behind Atinsola Petrol Station, Sanni, Abeokuta.

The police acted on a tip-off from local security groups, including the Agbekoya and Vigilante operatives, who led the raid on Yemitan’s home, where the shocking discovery was made.

“The suspect admitted to knowing the deceased, identified as Darasimi, claiming he had lured her to his home with the intention of murder.

He confessed to the act and implicated two accomplices—Kehinde Yemitan and one Kazeem, whose surname remains unknown. Their aim was to sell the victim’s head and body parts,” Odutola reported.

The dismembered remains have been transported to the Ijaye General Hospital morgue for a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, efforts are underway to locate Yemitan’s accomplices and identify the victim’s relatives.
