Parents, student face prosecution for assaulting principal, teacher — Ogun commissioner

​

An SS3 student of Agbara Grammar School, in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Akanni Azeez Olawale, and his parents have reportedly attacked the school principal, Ajibola Olanrewaju, and one other teacher, Dr Salau Adewale, for cautioning him against unruly behaviour.

The principal and the teacher came under attack after the student was accused of exhibiting conduct that portrays lack of respect for the school authority.

The assaulted principal explained that Olawale’s uniform was seized after he was seen engaging in hooliganism in the school.

Olawale was said to have engaged in the conduct after registering for the May/June West African Senior Secondary School Examinations in another private school.

A teacher, who does not want to be named, explained that, upon seizing his uniform, Olawale angrily left to fetch his parents who joined hands with him to pounce on the principal and other teachers of the school.

The source added that during the scuffle, Olawale slapped a teacher and tore another’s cloth.

Angered by this development, Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, said the student and his parents will be prosecuted for their unruly behaviour.

Speaking over the phone, the commissioner confirmed to this reporter that his office had been notified of the incident.

He said, “Yes I am aware of the incident, it is condemnable and such won’t be allowed in our schools. I am in touch with the relevant authorities and I can tell you that the boy and his parents will be prosecuted.

I learnt that the parents are already begging but I have insisted that they will get to court. It is a challenge that we have had in the past when some of these parents were joining their children to attack the teachers but since one of the parents had six months of community service, the rubbish has stopped.

“So, for this one too, the state government will prosecute those involved. That is the only way to send signals to others that may want to travel this unpopular and crude way.”

Also speaking on the development, Chairman of Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools, ASUSS, Ogun State chapter, Seun Agbesanwa, condemned the actions of the accused persons.

Ogun police arrest seven over murder of 35-yr-old woman

​

Police authorities in Ogun State have arrested seven suspects including a prophet and herbalist over the killing of a lady for ritual purposes.

The Ogun Police Command said this in a late Thursday statement.

“The Commissioner of Police Ogun State Police Command, CP Abiodun Mustapha ALAMUTU today being 15th of February 2024, at the Headquarters in Eleweran Abeokuta paraded seven daredevil persons who were directly involved in the killing of one Sulaimon Aishat ‘f’ 35yrs for ritual purpose,” the statement read.

While narrating how they were arrested, the command said it followed the “sudden disappearance” of the deceased which was reported to the DPO of Onipanu on the 9th of January, 2024.

Consequently upon the report, the CP gave a matching order to the officer in charge of Anti kidnapping Unit, to unravel the mystery behind her disappearance,” the police said.

“The efforts of the crack detectives from anti-kidnapping paid off as seven suspects who were directly involved in the killing of Sulaimon Adijat were arrested after a technical-based investigation.

“They are:- 1. Moses Abidemi ‘m’ 2. Oluwo Samuel ‘m’ 3. Prophet Peter Oluwalolese ‘m’ 4. Akinwunmi Ifatosin ‘m’ 5. Prophet Jamiu Yusuf’s ‘m’ 6. Sherif Agbai ‘m’ 7. Osojieahen Alioneiouria ‘m’. The investigation further revealed that on the 19th of November 2023, Sherif Agbai and Osojeiahen Alioneouria ‘m’ contact Oluwo Samuel Moday to perform a money ritual known as ‘Oshole’ that can produce Two hundred million naira (#200,000,000) within 7 days, and Oluwo Samuel Moday charged them for the sum of Eight hundred thousand (#800,000) and agreed to prepare the materials for ritual.

“Oluwo Samuel Monday in furtherance of his criminal intention later contacted one Peter Oluwalolese who was not new in the trade of human parts, to source for a lady between the ages of 18yrs to 20yrs in order to deliver her mutilated body parts, specifically the head, two breast, private part and her two wrists that will be used for money ritual.

Peter Oluwalolese who is acclaimed pastor of a white garment church located in Ibadan, Oyo State, also contacted another colleague of his, one Prophet Jamiu Yusuf ‘m’ a.k.a Eri Mose in Lagos State, who is notorious for the supply of human parts for ritual purposes. Prophet Jamiu Yusuf further contacted one Abidemi Moses ‘m’ a.k.a Asela, who is an herbalist at Ata Ota, Ogun State.

“Abidemi Moses requested the sum of six hundred thousand naira to get a lady that can be used for the money ritual. Oluwo Samuel Monday negotiated for the sum of three hundred thousand naira for the human body parts.

“Abidemi Moses is a herbalist and he serves as an apprentice to one Adebayo Olawale Azeez now at large, to harvest human parts for sale, a business he has enjoyed the proceeds for three years. Hence Adebayo Olawale Azeez surreptitiously invited Sulaimon Adijat to Sunshine Hotel, Atan Ota, and she was later taken to Abidemi Moses shrine at Igbi Olomi area of Atan Ota, Ogun State.

“She was killed by Abidemi Moses and others now at large, and her dismembered body parts were taken to Abidemi Moses house at Atan Ota to meet Oluwo Sameul Moday and Prophet Peter Oluwalolese who were waiting for the arrival of the body parts.

A search was conducted in the shrine of Abidemi Moses on the 3rd of February, 2024, and ten female handbags, two 25 liters gallons containing human parts, one axe, and two cement sacks containing human bones were recovered from his shrine at Igbo Olomi, Atan Ota.

“Meanwhile, all the arrested suspects confessed to the alleged crime and their individual roles, investigation is ongoing to arrest other fleeing suspects and the case will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is completed. Members of the public will be duly updated.”
