Ifasoji Ayangbesan, a 35-year-old herbalist presently in custody for allegedly killing and dismembering Oyindamola Adeyemi, a young lady, has made a confession that he purchased two human legs for the purpose of rituals for N20,000.


The Ogun state police command reported Ayangbesan’s arrest last week, accusing him of offering N1 million bribe to police officials to avoid prosecution.

During his presentation before the press on May 3, the herbalist refuted allegations that he was involved in the victim’s murder on January 28, 2023. He claimed to be an herbalist, not a ritualist.

How I bought two human legs for N20K
“I bought two fresh human legs, but I was not involved in the murder of the victim. I was approached by my friend, Lukman, who told me he had a pair of legs to sell.

Though I told him I did not need them, he convinced me to use them for ritual to better my life, and I agreed. I, however, told him I did not know how to make money rituals as I was not taught that as a traditionalist. He then referred me to his friend from Oye, popularly known as Egbeji in Isiwo.

After I was taught how to go about it, I burnt the legs and kept them in my house with plans to complete the ritual when I returned from Ajah because I had a job to do there.

However, my daughter called me while I was at Ajah that the police had come to the house looking for me. So, I later sneaked in and took away the burnt legs so that I would not be caught with any evidence because I heard that Lukman had been arrested and he had mentioned my involvement in the case.”

“I did not offer the police any bribe. When I heard that the police were on the lookout for me, a lawyer told me to get N10 million to set myself free, but I told him I could not raise the money.

However, I was able to raise N1 million. Unfortunately for me, the lawyer claimed that I had informed someone about him asking me for money. He then instructed me to place the money in front of him and he took a picture, and then I was arrested. I never offered police money.”
