On Wednesday 7th December 2023, operatives of The Ogun State Police Command uncovered a shallow grave at Ajebo located in Abeokuta, the state capital. The discovered grave contained the remains of Quadri Salami, an 18 year old 100 level student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state and the body was discovered following the arrest of two suspects. The 18 year old was reported missing by his father at the Kemta Police Station on 14th November, 2023.
Public Relations Officer of The Ogun State Police Command, SP Omolola Odutola, in a statement revealed that Quadri's decomposing body parts was traced to the shallow grave after a tracking clue beamed at one of the suspects, Akeem Usman who was arrested with the victim’s phone in his possession. Odutola further revealed that the first suspect implicated another fellow named Ifadowo Niyi, and said that both of them committed the heinous crime by slaughtering the victim (Quadri)and dismembered his vital parts for ritual purposes. SP Odutola said Ifadowo went away with Quadri’s head, and his two wrists, and paid the sum of one hundred thousand Naira into Akeem Usman’s account as proceeds from the sale of the human body parts.

The now arrested suspects continued to sell the victim’s other body parts to online scammers on demand. They also utilized the remaining body parts for a ritual called ‘awure' and buried the victim’s heart, two legs, and flesh inside plastic rubber for rituals. The duo acknowledged in their confessional statement that they had performed ‘Osole,’ or money rites, using four additional human heads.
