Azeez, who had been on the run, but was later arrested by
the police, said he joined the gang in September last year and has participated
in the killing of seven women.
He spoke when suspected criminals were paraded by the state
Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu.
Alamutu said the suspect conspired with Moses Abidemi
Awuraji, a herbalist, to kill the victims for money ritual.
“The suspects strangled their victims to death and
dismembered their body parts and sold them to Oluwo Monday Samuel and Alfa
Ariwo (who is still at large) for ritual purposes.
“The three suspects confessed to the killing of ten
different ladies at the Igbo Olomi residence of Moses Abidemi,” Alamutu said.
Narrating how he lured and killed the victims, Azeez said,
“I got the ladies from MyChat, which is a hookup app. I just told them that I
wanted to hook up with them whenever Moses Abidemi Awuraji contacted me that
they needed human body parts.
“They will call me and say that they need body parts, I will
go on the app and chat with the ladies for a hookup. I didn’t know the ladies
before, we didn’t have any conversation before, I only talked to them on the
app. I ask if they are available and we negotiate on the amount they want to
collect. When we reach an agreement, I will send my address to them and they
will come over to me at Atan-Ota.
“I will pick them up and call Moses Abidemi Awuraji that
they are around, I will then take them to Moses Abidemi Awuraji’s house in Igbo
Olomi, Atan-Ota, and inside his sitting room, we will kill them.
“Abidemi’s wife (Awuraji Mariam) will pin their legs down
while I strangle them.
“I joined the gang in September in 2023 and we have killed
seven ladies. These are the ladies that I brought to the house that we killed.
“I don’t know what they use the corpses of the ladies for,
my job is just to source for the ladies and bring them in. They don’t usually
tell me the amount they will give, at times, they will pay me N30,000, other
times, they gave me N40,000.
“I can’t say no to them whenever they ask me to bring the
ladies. I don’t know who they sell the body parts to and I don’t ask them about
it, my own is just to source the ladies and collect my money.”
Meanwhile, Alamutu said the Command is working assiduously
to unravel the identity of other victims.
He urged members of the public with missing relatives to
report to the police with photographers of the missing persons.
