In Ogun State, a 20-year-old boy who goes by the name Ridwan has admitted to killing his biological father after using him for money rituals.
Men from the Ogun State So-Safe Corps detained him on Thursday in Oshoku Village, Ijebu North Local Government Area.
According to a statement by the corps spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, the So-Safe Corps Commander, Soji Ganzallo, stated that at around 12 am on Thursday, August 31, officers of the corps were on normal patrol when they heard an odd noise coming from a building near Oshoku.
To their dismay, the officers discovered a man’s body lying lifeless in a pool of his own blood and the alleged killer fled the scene, Ganzallo added. The officers had reportedly entered the premises to establish what was happening.
According to the statement, Ganzallo gave Marcus Ayankoya, the zonal commander of the Ijebu Zonal Command, the order to apprehend the alleged murderer within a day.
“The suspected killer was nabbed where he was hiding in a bush.
“He confessed to have killed his father, Ishau with a rope tied to his neck and a knife used to remove the needed parts of his body for ritual purpose,” he said.
The corps commander noted that the alleged killer told the officers of the corps during interrogation that “he only removed the private part, larynx, and just four teeth of his father as requested by a ritualist he identified as Baba Kekere.”
Ganzallo further revealed that when he was asked about the whereabouts of the ritualist, he refused to give details.
He stated that the alleged killer had been transferred to the Nigeria Police Force, Ogbere Divisional Headquarters, for further investigation and likely prosecution.
