The body of a missing 100-level student of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife, Osun State, Quadri Salami, has been discovered by Ogun State Police operatives in a shallow grave.
Salami’s body was found in the Ajemo area of Abeokuta weeks after the father of the 18-year-old reported his disappearance at Kemta Police Station on November 14, 2023.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, in a statement, said two ritual syndicates, Akeem Usman and Ifadowo Niyi slaughtered the victim and dismembered his vital parts for ritual purposes.
The suspects were caught after the Tactical Squad tracked the victim’s phone, to Mile 6, in the Ajemo area of Abeokuta.

He implicated one Ifadowo Niyi “m” that both of them committed the heinous crime by slaughtering the victim one Quadri and dismembered his vital parts for ritual purposes.
