Mr Idowu Abel has narrated to Homicide detectives from the Ogun State Police Command, how he tricked his best friend, Adekunle Muyiwa from home, to where he was butchered and dismembered for payment of N200,000.
Idowu would have gotten away with the crime but for those who saw when he came to pick up the late Muyiwa.
The State’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), a Superintendent of Police (SP) Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that Pastor Felix Ajadi, Clement Adeniyi and Idowu Abel were arrested on Saturday19th of November 2022, for abducting and killing the 39 years old Muyiwa and dismembering his body for ritual purpose.
Oyeyemi said: “The suspects were arrested following a report lodged at Owode Yewa Divisional Headquarters on the 15th of November 2022 by Mr Oluwaseyi Adekunle, the elder brother of the victim, who reported that his younger brother left home on the 10th of November 2022 and did not return. Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Owode Yewa Division, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Mohammed S. Baba, detailed his crack detectives to unravel the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the man.”
Securitynewsalert.com learned that in the course of the police investigation, it was discovered that Abel was the person who came to pick up the missing man from his house on that fateful day. Upon this discovery, Abel was traced and arrested.
“On interrogation, Abel confessed that the victim, who happened to be his bosom friend was lured out by him and taken to his second accomplice, Adeniyi’s farm where he was killed and butchered. He confessed further that it was one herbalist who was introduced to him by pastor Felix Ajadi that requested for human head, heart, two hands and legs. He stated further that the said herbalist who is now at large promised to pay him the sum of N200,000 if he was able to get the listed human parts for him. He explained further that the herbalist paid him N80,000 as advance payment with the promise to pay the balance of N120,000 on receiving the items.
After collecting the advance payment, Abel went to his bosom friend Muyiwa and asked him to escort him to somewhere. Being a longtime friend, the victim who did not suspect any foul play followed him innocently, and he was taken to the farm of Adeniyi where they killed him and dismembered his body. His head was cut off, the heart was also removed. The remaining parts were hurriedly buried in a shallow grave in the said farm,” said Oyeyemi.
According to the police image maker, the confession of Abel, led to the arrest of Adeniyi and Ajadi, while the herbalist who was simply identified as Abeeb a.k.a Boko disappeared.
