Men of the Ogun State Command of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) have arrested two suspected ritualists in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old girl, Taye Gusau, in Idosemo, Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the suspects, Yewanu Tailoju, and Asamo Soji, lured the girl, who was hawking puff-puff (doughnut) after school, into the bush and murdered her.
After killing her, they decapitated the body, cut off the hands and intestines.
The state Public Relations Officer of VGN, Adebodun Omotolani, who disclosed this over the weekend to newsmen, said that the suspects reportedly dumped the body in a well on an abandoned plot of land at Igude, after decapitating it.
“Four days ago, the parents of the girl, when they did not see their child, reported to the VGN, who swung into action, leading to the arrest of 35-year-old, Yewenu Tailoju.
“It was Tailoju that named his partner, Asamo Soji, who is now in Police net and confessed to killing the young girl for money rituals.
“He later took officers of the VGN to where her corpse was dumped after severing her head and hands, while her intestines were also removed,” Omotolani said.
The Commandant of the VGN, Olanrewaju Adedoyin, who advised members of the public to always avail the group with information, said VGN was poised to taking community policing to a level that will reduce crime in the society.
Adedoyin said the case will be properly handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigation and prosecution.
