Operatives of the Ogun state police command have arrested a 23 – year old boy identified as Adeeko Owolabi who connived with a fake prophet to kill his girlfriend, Favour Daley-Oladele for money-making ritual.

It was further gathered that the fake prophet allegedly ripped open, Favour’s chest from where he removed her heart which he used at preparing the money-making concoction for the boyfriend, Owolabi and his mother to eat.
The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi who confirmed the incident to journalists in Abeokuta, the state capital said the arrest of the suspects was made possible following a report lodged at the Mowe Police Divisional headquarters by Favour’s parents that their daughter left home to an unknown destination since 8th of December 2019 and was yet to return home.
“Upon the report, the DPO Mowe Division, Superintendent of Police Marvis Jayeola detailed his crack detectives to unravel the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the 22 years old girl.
“The detectives went into full scale technical and forensic investigation of the case and their efforts paid off when the movement of the deceased was traced to a white garment church in far away Ikoyi-Ile in Osun State being pastored by one Segun Philip”.
“On getting to the church, the self-acclaimed pastor was promptly arrested but he was quick to inform the detectives that the girl was brought to him by her boyfriend Adeeko Owolabi who was still within the vicinity of the church. The said boyfriend was traced and apprehended immediately.
“On interrogation, Adeeko Owolabi confessed to the police that the deceased was his girlfriend and that he lured her to Ikoyi-Ile where he has perfected plans with the so-called pastor Segun Philip to use her for money-making ritual”.
“He stated further that while the girl was sleeping, the pastor gave him a pestle with which he used to smash the head of the girl and the pastor quickly used a knife to cut off her neck, ripped open her chest and removed her heart which he used in preparing a concoction for him and his mother to eat”.
