Police uncovers ritualist's den in Osun

A ritualist’s den at Aagba, an agrar­ian town in Osun was over the weekend raided by the police, and one Isiaka Akande, a self-acclaimed herbalist ar­rested.
The raid was prompt­ed by the discovery of fresh human parts from an Islamic cleric, Rasidi Ajibade last week in Os­ogbo, and his subsequent confession that he got the human parts from Akande, who claimed to be running a traditional psychiatric centre at Aagba.
After the raid, no fewer than 11 mentally challenged persons were rescued by the police.
It had been earlier re­ported that an Islamic cleric, Ajibade was ar­rested with fresh head of a woman, her hands, private part and intestine at Oluode market in Os­ogbo, on his way to make use of the parts for ritual purpose.
The herbalist, Akande, was later arrested from his hideout, and later led team of police in­vestigators to where he buried the remains of the woman, who was later discovered to be one of the mentally challenged persons in his custody. -The Authority
