The Ogun State Police has arrested a couple, Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun and Salawa Oyenusi Ajalorun for kidnapping, killing, and dismembering a 26-year-old mother of two, Oyindamola Adeyemi.
The couple was arrested along with six others, Lukman Oladele, Kayode Ibrahim, Bello Akeem, Alebiosu Adebayo, Fatai Rasheed, and Fatai Jimoh.
The spokesman of the command, Abimbola Oyeyemi said this in a statement issued on Thursday night.
Oyeyemi said the suspects were apprehended following a report lodged at Obalende divisional headquarters; Ijebu-Ode by one Ojo Omolara who reported that her neighbour, Oyindamola Adeyemi left home on the morning of Wednesday 28th of December 2022 but didn’t return home and her phone has since then been switched off.
However, since it was not 24 hours, she was advised to come back.
According to him, the following day, 29th of December 2022, while the patrol team from Obalende division was on routine patrol, a dismembered body of a lady was discovered by the roadside and the body was taken to a mortuary.
“Fortunately, the mortuary is a stone thrown distance away from the house of the deceased, and one of the mortuary workers who knew about the missing person called the attention of the deceased family to come and see the body brought by the police,” the police spokesman disclosed.
Oyeyemi disclosed further that on getting there, the deceased friend, Ojo Omolara was able to identify it through the bra and underwear Adeyemi put on since her head was already chopped off.

“His arrest led to the apprehension of his friend, Lukman Oladele whose house the legs of the deceased were also recovered.
