Police in Osun State have arrested a suspected ritualist, Bashiru Ajadi for allegedly killing and dismembering his girlfriend named Ashiata Salimon in Ajadi Arin village, in Ayedire local government area of Osun State after she paid a visit to the suspect.
Ashiata was declared missing four weeks ago by family members after she had visited Ajadi at his residence in the village via Oke-Osun.
However, some of the relatives suspected she was kidnapped by her lover and decided to report the incidents to Amotekun operatives in Iwo.
Confirming the incident, the Field Commander of Osun Amotekun, Comrade Amitolu Shittu said the suspect fled when operatives went to his house with a view to inviting him for questioning.
“One of the sons of the victim and a friend to her mother reported the matter to us at Iwo community. Our men swung into action but before we get to the house of Ajadi he had fled. The matter was later reported to the police and the suspect was arrested at Laupon in Oyo State.
“Ajadi killed the woman and dismembered her corpse at Ajadi Arin Village, Oke-Osun, Osun State“, he said. (Culled from Vanguard)
