Operatives of the Osun State Police Command have arrested two suspected ritualists.
The suspected ritualists were caught with items believed to be human hair and flesh.
According to a statement by the command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, the suspects identified as Ojo Gbadebo and Babatunde Hamsat, were caught around Oke Ona, a community along Iwaraja/Erimo road at about 9:30am on Thursday, November 3.
