A man identified as Bashiru Ajadi has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing and dismembering the remains of his lover.
The victim, named Ashiata Salimon, met her ordeal at Ajadi Arin village in Ayedire Local Government Area of Osun State during her visit to the suspect (her lover).
Salimon was declared missing four weeks ago after visiting Ajadi at his Oke-Osun residence.
Having suspected that her lover should know about her whereabouts, her family reported to Amotekun operatives in Iwo that she was missing.
The lady was later found dead with her body dismembered allegedly for ritual purposes.
The Commander of Osun Amotekun, Chief Amitolu Shittu, said that the suspect fled when the operatives went to his house to invite him for questioning.
“One of the sons of the victim and a friend to her mother reported the matter to us at Iwo community. Our men swung into action but before we got to the house of Ajadi he had fled. The matter was later reported to the police and the suspect was arrested at Laupon in Oyo State.
“Ajadi killed the woman and dismembered her corpse at Ajadi Arin Village, Oke-Osun, Osun State,“ he said.
