Despite the ordeal, the police department disclosed that he tried to bribe him with a tally of 1 million but their agent astonishingly rejected it.

Opeyemi who disclosed the ordeal outlined that Ayangbesan was impeached by arrested members of the syndicate earlier as the man who bought the two legs of the deceased victim.

Opeyemi said:

“Since then, the Divisional Police Officer, Obalende Division, Murphy Salami, has detailed his detectives to be on his trail with the view to arrest him and possibly recover the deceased two legs from him and prosecute him alongside his colleagues in crime.”

“Luck, however, ran against him when he was apprehended at his Ijade Iloti hideout on April 28, 2023. Immediately after he was arrested, the suspect made an offer of N1m bribe to the policemen, which was rejected.”

“On interrogation, he confessed to being part of the syndicate that killed Oyindamola Adeyemi, and that he was the person who severed her two legs which he claimed he used for ritual purposes.” 

Question of the day:
