Oyeyemi said that the head of the gang has been arrested while explaining the circumstances that led to the killing of a girl identified as Rofiat by four teenagers in Abeokuta.

On Saturday, four teenage boys were spotted burning the skull of a girl, claimed to be in a relationship with one of them, in Oke Aregba village in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, for purported money rituals, according to Naija News.

The community security guard, one Segun Adewusi was said to have observed that some boys were burning something suspicious in a local pot.

The security guard immediately alerted the police at Adatan station, who went to the scene and arrested three of the boys while Soliu, the leader of the gang had fled before police arrived.

The slain girl was a resident of Idi-Ape Abeokuta and was a girlfriend to Soliu, who is now in the police net.

Explaining how Soliu was arrested, the PPRO said the DPO was given a matching order to get him arrested.

He said, “Following the matching order given to the DPO Adatan by the commissioner of police to ensure the arrest of the deceased’s boyfriend, the DPO, and his men had eventually arrested the fleeing suspect Soliu Majekodumi in his hideout. He is 18 years old.”
