The suspect simply identified as Jimoh Olorunwa was nabbed after he allegedly excavated a grave and dismembered an unknown corpse buried in the Christian cemetery in the town.
Ikemefuna told journalists yesterday that Olorunwa met his waterloo following a formal complaint lodged with the police in the town by chairman of the Christian Committee.
The Christian Committee chairman had told the police that when he visited the cemetery on a routine check, he discovered that some graves had been broken and he suspected foul play by some ritualists.
According to the police boss, “On receipt of the information, surveillance was mounted within the cemetery area and this led to the arrest of one of the ritualists at the cemetery with human flesh (abdomen).”
He added that the suspect confessed to the crime and mentioned one Abore, of Odosinusi area of the town, who is currently at large, as an accomplice.
Olorunwa said: “I regret my action as I was pushed by the devil and the harsh economic situation in the state and in the country. I lost my job as a carpenter many months ago and I was lured into the business by a friend who is now on the run.” He said.
