A herbalist, Tunde Banjo, and an alfa, Nurudeen Adeniyi, have been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly killing a 16-year-old-girl, identified only as Olayinka.
They were reportedly arrested in Ijebu Igbo, Ijebu North Local Government Area of the state.

The trio were said to have been arrested by policemen from the Ago Iwoye and Ijebu Igbo divisions on Tuesday. A source said Olayinka’s Bosom s were severed by her killers.

Oyeyemi added that acting on the information, the police stormed a house in Imosan community and apprehended Ogunkoya, who confessed that Olayinka was in the custody of Banjo in Ijebu Igbo.
Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, added that upon his arrest, Tobi took policemen to the home of Banjo in Ijebu Igbo, where they met him with the Alfa, and they were arrested.
He said two fresh human hearts and a live tortoise were allegedly found in their possession.
Oyeyemi said Banjo confessed to the police that the girl had been killed, her Bosom s and other vital organs severed, while her remains were thrown into the Ogbere River, in the Ijebu East Local Government area of the state.
