November 21st will ever remain indelible in the heart of Oloko
villagers as members of the palace guard to the community leader of
Ajara Topa community in collaboration with a vigilante group operating
in the area arrested a man who allegedly eatsand sells human parts to
ritualists, operating from a hole he dug under the Gbaji bridge along
the Badagry-Seme border .
Joshua Akindele,56, who hails from Etokia Local Government in Ogun
State was spotted by one Anthony Amos who watched him crawl into a
hole under the Gbaji bridge, confessed that he had been into
cannibalism and ritual killing for the past 15 years, after being
introduced to the business by a friend who convinced him tostop
driving popular motor cycle known as "Okada" which he claimed profited
him a little, but could not sustain him. He further said that he had
been earlier sentto prison for 5 years after raping a 17-year old
girl.
Speaking with Crime Guard, Akindele confessed that he was the brain
behind the incessant killing within the village using ply woods to hit
his human prey, anddragging them into the holes before splitting their
parts for food and business… with ritual buyers. In his statement "I
have been in this business for the past 15 years after my friend
advised me to stop riding okada and to join him in ritual killing and
cannibalism."
When asked how he carried out his activities, he confessed "Whenever I
see somebody walking alone without being conscious of who is watching,
I walk slowing up to them and hit them with a big ply wood on their
heads after which they fall unconscious, I then drag them into the
hole and use a knife to cut them into parts which I sell tosome
churches and some ready buyers who indulge in ritual killing for easy
money, and some times when I feel hungry late in the night, I eat some
parts for food."
He confessed further that he sells the parts as follows: Heads
7,500,breast 1,500, penis 1000, hands and legs for 3,500. Amos who is
amember of a vigilante group in the area alerted other members of the
group and palace guards of the Baale of Ajara Topa community to
monitor the movements of Joshua.
He told Crime Guard that at about 1a.m on 21st of November, he was on
his normal routine watch when he noticed him (Joshua) crawling into
the hole with a rice bag, he quickly alerted other members who
confronted him with a gun and ordered him to drop and open what he was
carrying. When he did, they discovered rotten human parts; skulls,
legs, hands, breasts e.t.c.
Crime Guard visited the palace of the Baale of Ajara Topa community,
Chief Samuel Amosu Owolabi, who after confirming the incident told
Crime Guard thathe was sleeping in his palace when an emergency call
woke him with the caller informing himthat a man had been arrested by
members of his palace guards in collaboration with members of the
vigilante group with human parts.
Chief Samuel said he quickly calledChief Patifo, Baale of Iyafin whom
his community shared the bridge with to accompany him to the scene.
When he got there, he noticed a mob had begun beating the suspect and
only stopped after he begged them to let him live so that proper
investigations will be carried out by the police.
