Monday Karezu and Anagonou Kamelan

Two men, Monday Karezu, 32, and Anagonou Kamelan, 44, have been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for unlawful possession of fresh human head.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday by the spokesman of the Command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi.

Oyeyemi said the suspects were arrested on November 3, 2021 following information received by operatives in the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department that some men were coming to the house of an herbalist with human head, which they want to use for money making ritual.

Upon the information, the DSP Nurudeen Gafar-led team swiftly moved to the area where the herbalist’s house was situated and laid ambush there.

Not quite two hours after they laid the ambush, the two suspects arrived on a motorcycle with a bag containing the human head.

They were promptly arrested.

On interrogation, Monday Karezu, a national of Benin Republic, informed the police that he got the head from a place known as Ijale Papa.

This made the policemen to follow him to the place only to discover that he was lying.

Further investigation revealed that Karezu is a resident of Sabo area of Abeokuta and that the human head with him was that of a woman who died three months ago during childbirth and was buried not too far from his house.

It was further discovered that the suspect had one time killed his nine months old daughter and used her head for the same purpose but did not succeed.

He had also exhumed another corpse, removed the head and used it for money making ritual but failed.

The latest one that landed them in trouble was introduced to him by Anagonou Kamalen, a Togolese, who informed him that he knows an herbalist who can do “original money making ritual” for him with human head, hence he exhumed the corpse of the woman buried not too far to his house, cut off the head and in company of his accomplice, took it to the herbalist’s house where they were apprehended before delivering it.

The Commissioner, Ogun State Police Command, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered a full investigation into the past activities of the suspects with the view to charging them to court as soon as investigation was concluded.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
