In a significant breakthrough, the Lagos State Police Command has apprehended ten individuals suspected to be part of a criminal gang involved in grave exhumation and human sacrifices for ritualistic purposes.
Among those arrested was an 85-year-old traditional ruler from Benin Republic, Yusuf Lawal Muse, along with other key members of the syndicate. The suspects were apprehended following a meticulous investigation into a suspected case of culpable homicide.
According to the command's spokesperson, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, the arrests were made after Rahinatu Hassan, a pregnant woman from Gyanke village, Batagarawa LGA, fell victim to a gruesome murder attempt during childbirth. The suspects, including the traditional ruler, were allegedly involved in forcibly extracting the unborn child from the woman's womb, leading to her tragic demise.
During interrogation, the octogenarian traditional ruler, Yusuf Lawal Muse, confessed to orchestrating the heinous act, citing personal grievances against his own son, Musa. The motive behind the planned murder stemmed from familial discord, with the elderly ruler expressing regret and seeking divine forgiveness for his actions.
Furthermore, Ademola Akinlosotu, identified as the leader of the ritualist gang, divulged chilling details of their modus operandi. Akinlosotu admitted to luring unsuspecting victims under false pretenses, subsequently subjecting them to brutal killings for the extraction of body parts. The suspects confessed to their involvement in multiple murders, highlighting the alarming extent of their criminal activities.
The revelation of such a barbaric operation has sent shockwaves throughout Lagos and beyond. The arrests underscore the diligent efforts of law enforcement agencies to dismantle criminal networks operating within the state.
As investigations continue, the Lagos State Police Command remains committed to ensuring that all those involved in these reprehensible acts face the full weight of the law. The arrests serve as a stark reminder of the pressing need to address issues of ritualistic killings and uphold the sanctity of human life in society.
