“The police went to the house and recovered two mutilated corpses. They discovered decomposing bodies. They confessed that they killed many people but only two corpses were recovered. They killed for rituals to help those that patronise them,” she ended.
Similarly, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi in a statement by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem said, “he felt disappointed that Iwo residents could still kill for rituals despite his frequent anti-ritual campaigns in the media.
He described the perpetrators as bastards of Iwoland, urging security agencies to conduct a full investigation into their allies.
“As an ardent campaigner against ritual killings, I condemn in totality the recently discovered ritual den in Iyemoja, Iwo. It is an act against humanity.”
The perpetrators should be made to face the full wrath of the law. Iwo is known for morality and respect for human lives. Anyone caught dealing in human parts should be treated as criminal and bastard.”

“I’ve commenced the process to confiscate the den discovered in Iwo. I will approach a competent court of law to give a permit to confiscate land/house and surrounding houses of ritual killers. A powerful security committee will be set up as a liaison between the town and the security to give tip-off information on suspicious ritual murdering. Doing so will serve as a deterrent to others and chase ritualists dealing in human parts away from Iwo,” he added.
