The four of them confessed that they were working for a notorious land grabber who they simply identified as” Lebo”.
They stated that they accosted both victims along the road at Abisoye village where they abducted them to an uncompleted building in a bushy area, tied them in both hands and leg and later called their principal on phone informing him that they have succeeded in getting two victims.
They confessed further that when the said Lebo came, he ordered them to slaughter the two victims.
The trio of Okediran Monsuru, Ajaoba Monday and Akewusola Wajud held the victims down while Nupo Pona slaughtered them with a cutlass.
Having killed them, the fifth suspect Dasu Sunday who is a herberlist was called to come, and on his arrival, they cut the two victims into pieces and loaded their parts into a sack brought by the herberlist who took the parts away for money-making ritual.
The head of the woman was recovered at the herberlist shrine. The five suspects Okediran Monsuru, Ajaoba Monday, Akewusola Wajud, Nupo Pona and Dasu Sunday are all in police custody’ while a manhunt has been launched for Lebo.
