Waidi Soremi, a 25-year-old jobless youth, and his friends were arrested for stealing the head of one Taiwo Mesioye who was recently interred on Aboaba Street, Itori-Oke, Ewekoro, Ogun State.
According to him, he carried out the task alongside his childhood friends Samson Erinle, 25, and Taiwo Erinle, 23.
He said the operation was done at 12 midnight and took them 3 hours before it was completed around 3 a.m and his reason was to use the head for money rituals because their state of poverty seemed endless.
Waidi said the idea of getting rich quickly came to him when he stumbled on his late herbalist father’s book and handed it to Samson who had just completed his Islamic studies.
Samson, also known as Alfa, while going through the book, took a special interest in the aspect of money-making ritual and kept it close to his heart.
However, when one Taiwo Mesioye, died in their area, the suspects graced the funeral after which Alfa informed them that it was time for them to get out of poverty by stealing.
