The Nigerian police command in Ogun State has paraded Taiwo and Kehinde Yemitan, a pair of 45-year-old twin brothers who allegedly killed one Darasimi, female, and dismembered her body parts for rituals.
Also on parade on Monday was 27-year-old Afeez Ayeteru, who allegedly killed and beheaded an 80-year-old woman, Aduke, in Ado Odo Ota Council.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Lanre Ogunlowo, made the disclosures while parading the suspects alongside 24 other suspected criminals in Abeokuta on Monday.
The Commissioner said the command received a distress call from the deceased’s neighbour and rushed to the scene where they arrested the suspect while he attempted to flee.
The 45-year-old twin brothers, Taiwo and Kehinde Yemitan, allegedly slew the lady, Darasimi, before they dismembered her body parts for rituals.
The Police Commissioner noted that the incident occurred at the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta, saying that the suspects confessed to the crime.
Speaking with newsmen, one of the twin brothers, Taiwo, confessed to the crime.
He said the victim was his friend and she was the first person he killed as he used to sell human parts killed by other organ harvesters.
The Police Commissioner said that the suspects would face charges in court once the investigations were completed.
He said that other suspects were arrested for offences which included kidnapping, murder, and cultism among others.
He noted that all the arrests were achieved within the last three weeks.
Ogunlowo urged the people of the state to continue providing timely information to aid the efforts of the police in preventing and addressing criminal activities.
