Idowu Abel, together with Clement Adeniyi, slaughtered his close friend Adekunle Muyiwa in cold blood, he confessed to the police.
According to a report, Abel told the Ogun State police that he and Adeniyi killed his friend and sold his head, heart, and two hands to a herbalist after meeting him through a Pastor Felix Ajadi.
On Saturday, November 19, 2022, men from the Ogun State Police Command allegedly detained the trio of Abel, Adeniyi, and the so-called Pastor Ajadi “for abducting, killing, and dismembering Muyiwa’s body for ritual purpose.”
Oluwaseyi Adekunle, an older relative of the victim, reported the victim’s younger brother had left home on November 10, 2022, and had never returned on November 15 to the Owode Yewa divisional headquarters.
The DPO of the Owode Yewa division, CSP Mohammed S. Baba, working on the complaint, detailed his crack detectives to solve the riddle surrounding the abrupt disappearance of Muyiwa, according to the Ogun State police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the occurrence on Tuesday.
“In the course of their investigation, it was discovered that Idowu Abel was the person who came to pick the missing man from his house on that fateful day,” Oyeyemi said.
Abel confessed during questioning, according to Oyeyemi, that “the victim, who happened to be his close friend, was enticed out by him and transported to his second accomplice’s farm, Clement Adeniyi’s, where he was slaughtered and chopped to pieces.”
According to Oyeyemi, he also admitted that a particular herbalist who had been recommended to him by Pastor Felix Ajadi had asked for a human head, heart, two hands, and legs.
Further, it was reported that the now-wanted herbalist “promised to pay him the sum of N200,000 if he was able to collect the mentioned human parts”
Oyeyemi stated Abel admitted receiving an advance payment of N80,000 with the understanding that the remaining N120,000 would be paid upon delivery of the goods.
The victim, a longtime friend, followed him idly without suspecting any wrongdoing. They killed him and dissected his body at Clement Adeniyi’s farm after transporting him there. He had his head severed, along with his heart. The remaining pieces were interred in a little grave on the mentioned farm, according to Oyeyemi.
The herbalist, known only as Abeeb (also known as Boko), is still wanted by the police.
