Oyo State Security Network a.k.a Amotekun has paraded three suspected money ritualists, who beheaded 73 year-old Adebisi Adeniyi.

The suspects were Muraina Ismail, Olalekan Muhideen and Abdurasheed Olanrewaju.

They told journalists that they nabbed the 73-year-old Adebisi on Sunday on Amuloko-Akanran Road, Ibadan.

Ismail said he was paid N35,000 to deliver a human head needed by Olanrewaju for money ritual.

He said that he and his gang could not get the head and Muhideen delivered the 73-year-old victim whom they slaughtered and beheaded.

Ismail said he was afraid of killing the victim until Muhideen used a charm to order him which he obeyed.

Muhideen who delivered the victim also said he hypnotized the 73-year-old and asked him to board a tricycle, which they used to whisk him away to where he was slaughtered.
