The suspects
Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery
Squad, SARS, Ikeja have arrested three fleeing members of a syndicate
who allegedly specialized in selling live humans and decomposing human
parts for money rituals.
Their arrest came barely three weeks after some of their members
were paraded at the Lagos State Police Command, where they confessed to
have sold live human beings for N40,000, hands—N4,000 and head—N8,000.
Those recently arrested are Gazali Akewadola (60), the native doctor
who allegedly offered N40,000 for a live human being, Alfa Taofeek
Akinola (35) and Kazeem Sanni (25).
To the bewilderment of all, Gazali confessed that live human beings
were cheaper than buying dead human parts, saying all parts of a live
human being are vital in the preparation of money ritual.
For instance, he said a life human being was bought for N40,000, “but
at the end of the day, you get a lot of expensive parts from it.
Aside that, it is even more potent because the efficacy of the charm or
concoction prepared with live human parts cannot be compared with the
ones prepared with dead parts.
“When a life human being is killed, one will get fresh blood which is
used in preparing some charms. The same body will also give you hairs
from private part, head and some mustache which are used for other
ritual purposes. The private part is also very useful for the
preparation of effective concoction. The head,flesh intestines, liver,
heart, eyes, lips and tongues can be used for pepper soup which is
usually very delicious than that of animal meat. I usually take the
pepper soup so as to assure those who patronize us that it is not
harmful. It also fortifies one spiritually.
“If you buy a full human being for N30,000 or N40,000 and pieces it,
you will end up getting N100,000 or more because you will get more than
10 parts that will yield more money for you.”
Gazali who hails from Folahan, Ado-Odo in Owode Yewa Local Government
Area of Ogun State, further said: “I am an Islamic teacher and a
cleric. I own an Islamic school in Owode Yewa. I am also married with
eight children. I am also a native doctor. I cure people of their
ailments and help those who want to get rich quick, by using human parts
to prepare charms and concoctions for them.
We use soft bones to cure epilepsy
“Most of the human parts I bought were sold to me by Kazeem Sanni.
He used to sell dead human head between N3,000 and N8000, depending on
the market price. The soft bones that can easily be grinded into powder
are very cheap. It is just for N1,000. It is used to cure ailments like
epilepsy.”
Asked why he did not use any of his children since he has eight of
them, he said that would reduce the potency of the ritual concoction,
adding that its potency depended solely on strangers being used. He said
their victims were usually abducted from Lagos State and beyond, with
the use of charms.
He further disclosed that aside the N40,000 paid to Sanni to get him
a live human being, he gave him another N5,000 and a charm to hypnotize
the male victims. But he said the plan almost failed as Sanni was
almost caught. He, however, expressed regrets that despite the use of
human parts to make other people rich, he ended up not only being poor
but arrested along the line.
Money ritual charm changed my level
The second suspect, Alfa Taofeek, who is also an indigene of Owode
Yewa in Ogun State confessed to have bought a human head from the third
suspect, Kazeem, which he grinded and mixed with local gin.
According to him, “it was to enable me get rich. I am a Muslim cleric
and I have been making people rich through this means but became
jealous at a point and decided to get rich as well, since I was unable
to get enough money from my clients.
“After drinking the concoction prepared with a human head, I got more
customers and made more money. I even threw parties on a monthly basis
to celebrate my new level.
“I also used part of the money to sponsor the graduation ceremony of
some of my students in the Islamic school known as Alfa Taofeek Islamic
School, at Owode Yewa.”
Customs officers lured me into money rituals
On his part, the third suspect, Kazeem Sanni, claimed to have opted
for the money ritual business due to frustration from Customs men.
He said: “At a point, business was no longer moving because Customs
men at the border were always seizing the goods, at the end of which
their owners would force me to pay for them. I became frustrated even
contemplated selling my father’s landed property. I decided to consult
Alfa Taokeek Akinola to find out the cause of my predicament. He
instructed me to get a human head in order to be rich. After that, he
requested a live human being. I attempted kidnapping someone so that I
can cut off his head but it was not possible. He then instructed me to
exhume dead body from the graves which I did and got him three at the
rate of N3,000 each.”
Their arrest, as explained by spokesperson for the Lagos State Police
Command, Ngozi Braide, was in compliance with the Commissioner of
Police, Umar Manko’s directive to SARS Commander, Abba Kyari, to get
the fleeing suspects, after the arrest of three members of the
syndicate on May 15, 2013, with human parts.
