His arrest led to the apprehension of his friend, Lukman Oladele whose house the legs of the deceased were also recovered. They both made confessional statements which led to the arrest of other suspects who are buyers of different parts of the deceased body, on interrogation, Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun and Lukman Oladele confessed that the deceased was lured to the house of Taiwo, who happened to her man friend, but as soon as the victim entered, she was pinned down by both Taiwo Olutufese Ajalorun and Lukman Oladele and subsequently strangled her to death. After killing her, they cut of the head, legs, and the two hands, which they sold to standby buyers to be used for money making ritual.
