Police in Lagos have exhumed the remains of Favour Daley-Oladele, a final year Sociology student of Lagos State University (LASU), who was gruesomely murdered for money rituals at Ikoyi-Ile in Osun.
The victim’s dismembered body was exhumed from a dry shallow well at Ikoyi-Ile on Saturday.
Osun police commissioner, Babatunde Kokumo, led detectives from the Homicide Section of the command during the exhumation operation.
When the remains were exhumed, the head, the two breasts, neck and part of the two legs were no longer there.
Ms Daley-Oladele was allegedly killed by a prophet, Segun Philip, 42, and her boyfriend, Adeeko Owolabi, 22, in Ikoyi-Ile, Osun, on December 8 for money rituals.
Owolabi’s mother, Ruth, was also said to have played a role in the act.
Owolabi, a graduate of LASU, told journalists during the exhumation that he lured the deceased to Ikoyi-Ile and kept her in an hotel before killing her.
“After I lodged her in a guest house, I took her to a house which I claimed to be my uncle’s house, knowing fully well that the place was a ritualists den,” he said.
”I smashed a pestle on her head and she collapsed. The prophet thereafter used a knife and cutlass to dismember her body which was divided into three parts breasts, head and legs with other vital parts.
“We buried the remaining part of her body beside Prophet Philip’s Church called ‘Solution Salvation Chapel’, while some vital parts was given to my mother to eat for spiritual cleansing.”
Mr Philip, who claimed to be a prophet in Solution Salvation Chapel, said the deceased was murdered to make money rituals for Owolabi.
“I am not a prophet but a herbalist who engages in spiritual cleansing for whosoever come to my place,” he said.
“I used the Solution Salvation Chapel as a cover up not to allow people know the true picture of who I am and what I do.
“Owolabi came to my place for money rituals and I told him that we need a complete human being for the rituals.
“And on December 8, he brought his girlfriend to my church and we killed her and as well dismembered her body part for money rituals.”
Ruth, however, told journalists that she was not aware that the concoction given to her to eat and the cream was made of human part.
The police commissioner said detectives carried out thorough investigation to ascertain the actual place the deceased was buried, adding that the police would ensure that justice prevailed in the matter.
