The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two individuals, Akeem Usman and Niyi Ifadowo, for allegedly killing Quadri Salami, an 18-year-old 100-level student of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), for ritual purposes.
The arrest was made after Salami’s father reported his son missing on November 14 at Kemta Police Station, Abeokuta, stating that he had not seen his son since November 8.
The Commissioner of Police in Ogun, Abiodun Alamutu, personally led a team of Tactical Squad to Mile 6 in the Ajebo area of Abeokuta, where the suspects were apprehended.
According to SP Omolola Odutola, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), the duo admitted to using four other human heads for money rituals in their confessional statement.

Odutola revealed that the suspects are currently in Eleweran at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation and will be prosecuted.
The PPRO said:
“The commissioner went with the team to a shallow grave to exhume the decomposing body parts of the deceased after a tracking clue beamed at Usman, who was arrested in possession of the victim’s phone.
“He implicated Ifadowo that both of them committed the heinous crime by slaughtering the victim and dismembering his vital parts for ritual purposes.
“Ifadowo went away with the deceased head and his two wrists and paid the sum of N100,000 into Usman’s account as proceeds from the sale of Salami’s other body parts.
“The suspects thereafter continued to sell the victim’s other body parts on demand to Internet fraudsters.
“They buried the heart, two legs, and flesh inside a plastic rubber for rituals and used the remaining parts for a crime against humanity.”
