The Ogun State Police Command has arrested three suspects, Sunday Akintobi, Oladimeji Olaniran, and Isaiah Tijani, for unlawful possession of human body parts.
According to the command, the suspects were arrested on April 22, 2025, following credible intelligence.
A statement by the police Spokesperson, Omolola Odutola in Abeokuta on Friday, indicated that while searching the suspects’ residences, police recovered body parts believed to be human remains, including cerebral bones.
Omolola said that the items were found in a location disguised as a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Kobape town and along Abiola Way in Abeokuta.
“The Command, through its SWAT unit, acted on credible intelligence and apprehended one Sunday Akintobi (male, 36 years), a resident of Itoku area in Abeokuta, suspected of trading in human body parts.
“Further investigation led to the arrest of two additional individuals: Oladimeji Olaniran (male, 40 years) and Isaiah Tijani (male, 38 years). A search of their residences led to recovery of body parts believed to be human remains.
“Cerebral bones were also recovered from a location disguised as a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Kobape town and along Abiola Way in Abeokuta.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to conduct a discreet investigation into the case.
“As a friendly force, the Ogun State Police Command, urges the public to refrain from shielding criminal elements and to provide timely and credible information to security agencies. Such cooperation is crucial in curbing ritual killings and other violent crimes in the state”.
