SP Omolola Odutola, the police spokesperson, announced the arrests in a statement on September 20, 2024, revealing that three accomplices involved in digging the grave were also detained. The arrests were made possible through collaboration between police and local vigilante groups, linked to illegal herbalist practices.

Odutola reported that Ogidan was caught in the act of disposing of the mutilated corpse near a river in Igbosoro village around 1:30 AM on Friday. Investigations showed that the girl’s body had been dismembered, with both hands amputated.

According to the statement, a tip-off led the divisional police officer of Igode to investigate suspicious activities near the Igbosoro river. When apprehended, Ogidan was found with the body wrapped in a mat.

The victim’s mother, Peace Adegboyega, confirmed that Oriyomi had died from electrocution on September 19, 2024, and that funeral arrangements were underway. She expressed shock at discovering Ogidan’s involvement.

A search of Ogidan’s home uncovered two English pump-action rifles and various local charms. During questioning, Ogidan denied mutilating the body but claimed that the girl’s father, Sunday Adegboyega, had asked him to bury her far from their home.

Three additional suspects, who assisted with the grave digging, were also arrested. Further updates on the investigation will be provided, and the suspects will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a detailed inquiry.
