The Department of State Service (DSS), Osun State Command, has
apprehended a herbalist, simply identified as Jelili also known as Ifa
(oracle) and a commercial driver, Elijah Oyebode for allegedly
kidnapping and killing a 400 level student of Osun State University,
Adebisi Rofiat Damilola.
The driver has confessed how the herbalist gave him the dirty job to
bring a young lady for him and get N10,000 (ten thousand) as reward.

returning from the Ipetu-Ijesa campus of UNIOSUN where the lady was
studying Science Education.
It would be recalled that Adebisi who left Ipetu-Ijesa for Osogbo on

girl matched the specification that Ifa (oracle) gave me.

pocket, I only need to have body contact with the lady and she would be
hypnotised. The charm was already in my pocket when I saw the lady
and I ensured that my body touched her. From there, she didn’t know
anything again.
“After dropping other passengers at the various destinations, I took the
lady to Ifa at his house in Ikirun and he received her and gave me
N10,000. I pity the lady when I was leaving because I knew she would not come out alive. My conscience was telling me that what I did was bad.”
“When I left Ifa’s house, I went to a bush to dump the lady’s luggage
which contained some clothes. Few minutes later, her phone started
ringing. I knew her people must be looking for her. I took the phone to
Yusuff to help me sell it. I told Yusuff that a passenger forgot the
phone in my vehicle”.
“The phone kept ringing and I later picked it. Yusuff told me that it
was dangerous to receive the call because they could use it to trace us.
I removed the SIM card and threw it away instantly to prevent her
people from reaching us. We sold the phone for N20,000. We shared it
N10,000 each”.

truth, for the law to deal with the culprits.
