Promising to prioritise corps members’ welfare in his state, he said: “I told them (corps members) I am going to ensure their food is of good quality and quantity. I told them I will ensure that they won’t spend their money in the camp market. This is the promise I made to them and I am fulfilling them.

“I am going to feed them in such a way that they will not spend from their pocket.”

They don’t even have the money; so, it is our duty to ensure we feed them well.” On arrangements by the state government and private organisations to ensure timely payment of stipends of corps members, he said: “In line with our operations of the monthly stipend we pay corps members, we expect their employers, be it state government or private organisations, to pay them some stipend in addition to what Federal Government gives them.”

26-Year-Old Suspected Ritualist Confesses Reason for Daily Bathing with Human Head

Franklin Akinyosuyi, a 26-year-old individual under suspicion of engaging in ritualistic activities, has provided insight into his daily practice of bathing with a human head.

Akinyosuyi disclosed that he acquired the human skull and various other body parts from an herbalist located in Osun state.

The accused, who was publicly displayed along with other alleged criminals by the Ondo state police command over the weekend, shared during an interview that he followed the instructions of the herbalist to enhance his struggling photography and boutique businesses. These enterprises were reportedly undergoing significant challenges.

According to him ” I am a photographer and I own a boutique as well. It was last year that my uncle took me to a herbalist.

“I explained to him that my business wasn’t moving well, so he asked me to pay N200,000 to make concoction for me which I paid within three weeks.

“After he was done, he called me to come pick it and that was last year November. He directed that I should be bathing with the human head every Thursday at exactly 1am.

” I used it for a month but didn’t see any difference in my business. So, I had to call the herbalist and told him to refund my money.

“I also asked him to come and pick the human head as well but he refused to come and pick it, but he had started refunding my money because he already sent me N20,000.

” So, on that faithful day, I decided to go and throw it away, so I dropped it at my backyard. Unfortunately, I went out and before I could return, my landlord’s children saw it, informed their father and they ultimately called the police.

“After we were arrested, the herbalist claimed that he paid someone to get the human head”, the suspect said.

Addressing the matter concerning the individual suspected of engaging in ritualistic activities, Funmi Odunlami, the police spokesperson, informed that a human skull was discovered in the possession of the said individual. Following subsequent questioning and investigation, this led to the apprehension of an evangelist named Oyegoke Dare, who provided both the human skull and other fetish items to the aforementioned suspect.

She added that ” one Oyelade Sarafa an herbalist who also confessed to have helped in procuring the skull from one Asekun (a vigilante) in Ikirun was also arrested.

The police image maker, said that “Two other suspects mentioned in connection with the case are currently at large.
