Three men arrested for killing a 400 level student of the Microbiology Department of the Osun State University, Osogbo, Olufemi Timilehin Shonibare, have confessed to killing him for money ritual.
While being paraded by the Osun State Police Command at its headquarters in Osogbo, the state capital on Tuesday evening, the suspects, including19-year-old Sakariyau Abdulrafiu; Ibrahim Ayuba, 24, and Yusuf Aliu,18, confessed that they hit Shonibare with a pestle before he died.
 
According to them, they decapitated the victim before roasting his head as instructed by one herbalist they consulted.
Sakariyau, said to be a Muslim cleric, told newsmen that he was learning charms and voodoo under the tutelage of an unnmaed herbalist.
He said himself, Ayuba and Aliu agreed to embark on money rituals, saying Shonibare’s remains were dumped inside a bush.
Sakariyau was said to have taken some policemen to the bush, where they dumped the decomposing body, before the police evacuated the corpse to the mortuary.
Angered by this development, scores of students of the university community at Oke Baale area, stormed Sakariyau’s house and razed.
They also besieged a mosque in the area, where Sakariyau was said to always pray and torched it.
A team of policemen from the Swift Action Response Squad of the command later arrived at the trouble scene to maintain law and order and restore normalcy to the area
