The Ogun State Police Command have arrested a suspected cultist for allegedly killing one Shakiru and severing his two hands.
Reports say 27-year-old Kayode Oreneye sold Shakiru’s palms to a herbalist for N5000.
Oreneye, who was a member of Aiye cult group, was paraded alongside other 47 suspected criminals who were arrested for offences ranging from armed robbery, murder, and theft.
They were paraded at the command’s state headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, by the State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu.

Oreneye told journalists that the late Shakiru belonged to a rival cult group, Eiye, and claimed that the deceased had attempted to kill him on three occasions but he escaped.
The suspect, who’s a father of two, also claimed that the deceased had also killed three members of the Aiye cult group.
Oreneye, who confessed that he shot and killed Shakiru at Library Junction, Ilaro, on 12th February 2018 in a reprisal, said he later sold the deceased’s two palms to one Jimoh, a herbalist.
He said,
“It is true that I shot and killed Shakiru because he had killed three members of our (Aiye) cult group.

“Again, he had made attempts on my life on three occasions but I was able to escape, and I had to strike before he would strike.”
Iliyasu told journalists that the suspect was arrested at a drinking joint in Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta.
