Fourteen-year-old Malik was murdered and beheaded for ritual in Ibadan on 7 August 2024.
Suspected serial ritual killer, Muhammad Adekunle, has confessed to conspiring with others to murder and sell the human remains of Malik Kareem to a female trader at the popular Oje Market in Ibadan, for ₦70,000.
Adekunle, the trader and other suspects were paraded by the Commissioner of Police, CP Ayodele Sonubi, at the Oyo State Police Command in Eleyele Ibadan, on Friday, 16 August 2024.
Sonubi described the suspects as serial killers and revealed that in January 2024, Adekunle, in collaboration with Lukman, Olobe, and Ifa (all now at large), lured one Adekola Sodiq to Moniya, where they severed his head and legs and sold them to Obaleye Sanmi and Ismail Olalekan.
Sodiq was brutally murdered at Olorisaoko Village in Akinyele Local Government Area last week.
Sonubi also stated that on 7 August 2024, Adekunle and his accomplices, now at large, stabbed Malik Kareem to death and sold his head and legs to Rashidat Akanji at Oje Market for ₦70,000.
Reports gathered that on 11 August 2024, at around 6:30am, a search warrant was executed at the suspects’ homes, where fresh flesh was recovered. Adekunle admitted that the flesh was Malik Kareem, whom they killed on 7 August 2024.
During the investigation, suspects Muniru Salawudeen, Rashidat Akanji, Ismail Olalekan, and Obaleye Sanmi were arrested. They confessed to buying various human parts from Adekunle Mohammed for money rituals.
On 10 August 2024, at around 12:15 am, a man named Ayede reported a foul smell coming from a building owned by Muhammad Adekunle, who did not live there but visited at irregular hours.
Police from Moniya Divisional Headquarters investigated and discovered a dry well in the compound containing what appeared to be mutilated human bodies.
The remains of three unidentified bodies were removed and taken to the State Hospital mortuary for preservation and post-mortem examination. Photographs were also taken.
