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.
