Few days ago, the city of Ibadan was agog with the news of how a cleric, Taofeeq Kabelohun, the Mufasir (deputy imam) of Orisun Awotan Central Mosque, Awotan in Ido local government area of Ibadan, Oyo State, Rahmon Muibi, also known as Alubarika, and another suspect, (names withheld)
were arrested for killing a middle aged man for rituals in Ibadan.
It was gathered that the three suspects conspired to kill the man whom they asked to follow them to visit a place around Moniya area in the Akinyele local government area.
The suspects were arrested by officers of tge Oyo State Police Command on stop and search duties.
They were later arrested by the police after it was discovered that blood was coming out of the booth of their car.
A video which had been in circulation since Friday showed that the three suspects were currently at the state’s Criminal Investigation Department, Iyaganku Ibadan. In the video, the three clerics were seen displaying the head and other parts of the man they allegedly killed.
Sources squealed that Kabelohun and Muibi had been arrested more than twice for the same offence at Peace Estate and Adaba community along the Apete-Akufo road.
“These people have been arrested more than twice on this same issue, and they are living in our midst, one at Peace Estate and the other at Adaba,” he said.
Another source in the community revealed that the duo were arrested when they were trying to remove body parts from a grave in Ibadan.
Meanwhile, the leadership of Orisun Awotan Central Mosque has removed Kabelohun as Mufasir over the murder case.
The mosque, in the communique on Sunday, indicated that Mallam Abdulhakeem Abdulrasheed had been installed as the new Mufasir of the mosque.
