A man identified as Babalola Dolapo Daniel has admitted to killing his lifelong friend, Opeyemi Oyelakin, his cousin, and three different people for rituals.
OBAV Associates discovered that the suspect killed his friend in Ibadan, Oyo State, sold his body parts to ritualists, and then stole his friend’s motorcycle.
In an interview with the nation, Dolapo said he was ignorant that every one of his victims died after he hit them with a stick and a stone before making away with their motorcycles.
He said, “I killed Opeyemi, who is my friend, and sold the bike to one man at Ibadan called Toheed. I don’t sell human parts; however, I give a portion of one of my victims bodies to a herbalist in Ondo who vowed to give me an Ifa Oracle.
“Where we grabbed bikes, anybody who struggled with me in the process got hit on the head with a fat stone and a stick.”
The police say that Dolapo killed the motorcycle rider in April 2023 in Kabba, Kogi State, and Ife, Osun State, along the Ilesha road.
The herbalists, identified by the police as Shina Ojo and Mujeeb Lawal, claimed that they made spiritual soap from body parts.
The statement read, “In June 2023, he killed one more motorcyclist at Ondo town and dumped the corpse at a farm at Oboto bush along Bolorunduro street, Ondo town, while in October 2023, the suspect and one Sikiru Mutiu, otherwise known as S.K., killed his lifelong friend, dismembered his body, and gave them to herbalists identified as Mujeeb Lawal and Shina Ojo for rituals.
“The duo of Abiola Olatunji Toheeb and Ayegbajeje Michael, who are receivers of stolen things, and one Oyediran Waheed Olaitan, who helps in the creation of fake documents to help the sale of the stolen motorcycles, have been arrested. While one suspect remains at large, seven motorcycles have been retrieved from the receivers. I have killed five people, including my cousin and my friend, and snatched their motorcycles.”
