Babalola narrated;;
‘’” Seven motorcycles have been retrieved from the receivers, while one suspect is still at large. I have killed five persons, including my cousin and my friend, and snatched their motorcycles. I killed Opeyemi, who is my friend, and sold the motorcycle to a man in Ibadan called Toheed. I do not sell human parts, but I took part of one of my victims’ bodies to an herbalist in Ondo who promised to give me an Ifa Oracle. At the point where we snatched motorcycles, anyone who struggled with me in the process got hit on the head with a fat stone and a stick. The herbalists said they used the body parts to prepare spiritual soap.”

“Out of fear, the victim sent the sum of ₦110,000 to the account forwarded to her. Through technical assistance, he was arrested.
