In a disturbing turn of events, the Ogun State Police Command has apprehended seven individuals, including two herbalists and two self-professed prophets, for their alleged involvement in the murder of a 35-year-old woman, Sulaimon Adijat. The suspects, identified as Moses Abidemi, Oluwo Samuel Monday, Prophet Peter Oluwalolese, Prophet Jamiu Yusuf, Akinwunmi Ifatosin, Sherifff Agbai, and Osojieahen Alioneitouria, were arrested in connection with a ritual that purportedly promised to yield N200 million within seven days.
