Sources reported that the three victims, who were students of Adeyemi College of Education began the walk of their unfortunate fate as they left their rented apartment for an undisclosed location that day.

According to reports, Tijani was the one who received the breasts and hands removed from the girls bodies and, in turn, gave them to Sile before the middleman disappeared without paying the promised N15million.

One of the suspects, Adenitire narrated how the money attached to job attracted them to kidnapping the girls and killing them.

“We killed the three girls and removed their breasts and buried their remains in the forest. We gave the parts to the Alfa and Sile who is also part of us but took to his heels after our arrest.
“I was not there when the victims were killed but I was the one keeping vigil at the entrance of the forest and the operation was successful. I did not participate in the killing.”
The second suspect, Fasanu, said,
“I was in my house when John Adenitire told me he had a business that could lead to cool money for us. He told me it was about ritual and assured me there was no problem.
“We went out the second day around 9:30 p.m. and three girls and one boy were picked and we killed them before removing their parts while Sile took them to herbalists in Ore and Ijebu Igbo.”
While parading the suspects, Ondo State Police Commissioner Gbenga Adeyanju, alongside 15 other suspected armed robbers and cult members, said the suspects had been engaged in the crime for a while and had extended their activities to neighbouring states.
He expressed in words, “During interrogation, the suspects confessed to mutilating the bodies of the victims for ritual purposes. In fact, the suspects took us to where they buried the victims. On getting there, we found the bodies already decomposing”
According to him, a report on the missing girls were made at Fagun Police Station, Ondo town on the 28th of July. He added that the report triggered police investigation that led to the arrest of the suspects.
He affirmed that the suspects would be charged to court for murder after police investigation and promised to combat crime with total intolerance in the state.
