Ganiyu Tajudeen, 25, a suspected member of a gang of ritual killers,
has been arrested by the operatives of Federal Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, (FSARS), Osun State Command, after killing and beheading Bakare Teslim, 4.
The killing occurred in Iragbiji. Tajudeen allegedly connived with
other gang members: Aremu Moshood, 48, Agboola Abdulwasiu, 31, and
Ganiyu Abidoye, 60, to lure Teslim away from his parents’ residence on
the pretext of buying him groundnuts.
Teslim’s father, Ismail Bakare, disclosed to law enforcement agents
that on getting home on the day of the incident, he was informed by an
aged woman living in his neighborhood that Tajudeen had come to take
away his son to buy groundnut.
Ganiyu later confessed to have taken Teslim away with the sole aim of
using him for money ritual. He also confessed that he had already been
beheaded and the head had been buried in a shallow grave, while the body
was thrown somewhere and covered with leaves.
He thereafter took the FSARS operatives to the scene where the body
was thrown while the head was exhumed few meters away from where the
body was recovered.
Ganiyu, a palm fruit cutter, said he killed Teslim for ritual to make
fortune and for protection. He had once been arrested in 2012 for
stealing a child, then, he was charged to court and spent 7 months in
Ilesa prison.
The 4 suspects have now been dragged before an Osogbo magistrates’
court on a 4-count charge of conspiracy, kidnapping, murder and unlawful
and intentional killing of Teslim Bakare.
