SUSPECTED RITUALISTS CAUGHT IN AKURE WITH WEAPONS AND FRESH HUMAN PARTS

 
Two suspects believed to be ritualists dealing in human parts were caught on Monday evening in Akure, Ondo State.

The suspects were caught inside a bush housing the cenotaph on a roadside opposite the Adegbemile Cultural Centre and near the A Divisional Police Station in Akure.

Eyewitnesses revealed that the suspects were part of a kidnap gang behind some reported cases of missing people in Akure.

One of the witnesses, Abiodun Ojo, told our correspondent that the suspects were also caught with dangerous weapons, including cutlasses.

“We found in their possession cutlasses which they used in carrying out their evil acts and some other dangerous weapons,” he said.

Mr. Ojo, a local vulcanizer, added that the discovery was shocking to those who live and work in the area.
“This is surprising because you cannot imagine that such an evil act could be going on inside this place [cenotaph]. Just imagine, this place is beside the main road and it is where people walk through virtually every day and night,” he said.

The witness said that one the suspects confessed to being involved in the kidnapping of Akure residents.
“One of them already confessed that they were behind the cases of some missing people in Akure. The issue of missing people in the last two months in Akure had become a source of concern,” he said.

The incident was said to have angered some passersby who learned about the case and rushed down with the aim to lynch the two suspects.

SaharaReporters gathered that the two suspects were moved to the palace of the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi.

A source at the palace confirmed that that culprits were dragged in a taxi to the palace of the Deji of Akure.
He said the suspects would be handed over to the police for a proper investigation.

“I learned that the kabiyesi [monarch] has also contacted the police to hand over the suspects after a brief interrogation,” he said.

Femi Joseph, the spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, said he is yet to be properly briefed over the incident, but said he would contact our correspondent after learning more about the matter.

NIGERIA'S BREAKUP IS NOT AN OPTION-DAVID MARK

N igerians must move on together as a breakup is not an option, former Senate President, David Mark, said on Friday. “Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles. We cannot reverse ourselves,” Mr. Mark told Kaduna State Acting Governor,  Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna. He was at the head of a delegation of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the acting governor. “The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united,” he was further quoted as saying by his media aide, Paul Mumeh.   “We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation." “There is no use heating up the polity,” the ex-Senate president added. He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, has declared support for the Peace Corps bill passed by the National Assembly. The bill, which seeks to turn the Peace Corps, a non-government organisation, into a government paramilitary agency, has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians. Proponents see it as an avenue to create jobs for thousands of youth while critics describe as a duplication of functions already being performed by existing agencies and creation of another bureaucracy at a time the country is finding it difficult to pay workers' salaries. The bill was opposed by existing military and security institutions in Nigeria and the Peace Corps leader Dickson Akoh is currently being prosecuted for alleged fraud. Apart from lawmakers, the bill is also supported by some prominent Nigerians including the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, who also asked Mr. Buhari to sign to it.
