Two su We Sell Human Spare Parts For N5, 000 –
Arrested Cultists spected cult members in Ogun State say
they sell human hands for N5,000 each to
raise funds for their operations, Punch has
reported.

The men identified as Oluwaseun Odueh, aka
Cleff; and Wasiu Adejumo, aka Bomber, both
members of the Eiye Confraternity, were
arrested by operatives of the Zonal
Intervention Squad in the Ibogun area of the
state.

Also, a traditional ruler who allegedly bought
the hands of the victims was also arrested
along with three herbalists.
The herbalists, Ifatona Akanni, aka Ajana
Oro; Isiaka Ajani and Oko Musa, said they
had bought seven hands from the cult
members, adding that each was bought for
N5,000.

Those killed by the men were identified as
one Tunde, who was beheaded at the
Cherubim and Seraphim Church Railway Line,
Ogba Ayo, Ijoko, in 2016, with his two hands
cut off. Also killed were one Lateef, Kehinde
and Yinka, in the Ijoko area between 2016
and January 2017. The hands of the men
were cut off.

The police said on May 28, 2017, three men
were also killed at Candozo Hotel, Fadahunsi,
Ijoko, around 8pm, while in June 2017, two
people were killed at Ogba Ayo Junction and
Agoro Junction, Ijoko, with their hands
missing.

One of the suspected cult members, Odueh,
said all the victims were members of the Aiye
Confraternity, a rival cult, adding that they
were killed during reprisals. He said their
hands were sold to herbalists to raise funds
for the activities of his gang.
The 32-year-old said he became a cult
member due to the oppression he suffered as
an undergraduate of a university in Ogun
State, adding that he joined the gang in his
community when he finished from school.

The
second suspect, Adejumo, who also confessed
to be an Internet fraudster (yahoo yahoo),
said he was part of the squad that killed two
members of the Aiye cult he identified as
Kehinde and Lekan Welder. The 30-year-old
said a fight between two leaders in the Ijoko
area led to the increase in cult kilings in the
community.

He said, “Supremacy clashes
between the cults started about
six years ago in Ijoko. The Aiye
cult killed our members,
Godogodo, Fele, Callous and
others. Each time they killed
them, they cut off their hands.
We had to retaliate by doing the
same thing to them. “Initially, we
were throwing away the body
parts. But when we realised that
we needed money for our
activities, we decided to make
enquiries on what we could do
with the body parts. That was
how we started cutting off their
hands and selling them. I have
been involved in the murder of
four members of the rival cult.”
“ ”

“We killed Kehinde and Lekan
Welder because they killed our
members and cut off their hands.
They killed Fele (Sunday) and
Callous, a final year student of
the Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta.

They also
killed Godogodo and Rati. We sell
the hands to herbalists,” he
added. One of the herbalists,
Musa, said he had bought three
hands from the cult members,
adding that he had paid N10,000
and was owing them N5,000
balance.

He said, “I am a herbalist. I also
consult Ifa and Opele for my
clients. I met these boys when
they came to worship Ogun at
my shrine and since then, they
had sold only three hands to me;
both dry and fresh. I use the
hands for asiri bibo (fetish
blessing). I bought each hand for
N5,000. I gave them N10,000, and
owed a balance of N5,000.”
The second herbalist, Akanni, 53,
said he had bought two hands
from the men for the same
purpose. The third herbalist,
Ajani, who is the baale of Ososun
village, in the Ifo Local
Government Area of Ogun State,
said the cult members introduced
themselves to him as land
speculators, adding that they
later brought two hands which
he bought for N10,000.
The Zone 2 Police Public
Relations Officer, SP Dolapo
Badmos, said Odueh was the first
to be arrested. She said, “Odueh
was arrested on August 23 by the
ZIS team during a patrol at
about 2pm in the Ibogun area of
Ogun State. On interrogation, he
confessed to belonging to the Eiye
Confraternity and said he was
also a member of an armed
robbery gang. We subsequently
arrested other members of the
gang.

“The police recovered three
locally-made cut-to-size guns,
seven live cartridges, and human
parts processed into concoctions
and powder for fetish use from
the suspects. “The Assistant
Inspector-General of Police, Zone
2, Adamu Ibrahim, has ordered
that the suspects should be
arraigned in court.”
