Opalola said police operatives found four blood-stained knives, a chisel, two gourds, a wooden traditional pot containing black soap, two sponges with black soap, a traditional tray (Opon Ifa), and local charms with the herbalist.
As reported by The Nation, Ganiyu narrated how he killed his close friend and used his throat to make ritual soap.
Ganiyu said he committed the crime when he visited his friend who was on a sick bed and attacked him with a knife.
“I am an herbalist and a farmer. I used to do that kind of ritual for Yahoo boys but they are the ones that do bring human parts. This time around, I look out for the part myself. I regretted my action because I also attended his burial but suspicion and investigation by police led to my arrest. I don’t believe that I can kill my age-long friend like that.”
