Sodipe confessed that he works for one herbalist, Adedokun Yinusa Ajani, 50, who allegedly sends to carry out the dastardly operations.
Fielding questions from journalists, the 19-year-old suspect said he killed Barakat Bello, 18, on June 1, 2020, smashed the head Mrs. Azeezat Somuyiwa with a big stone on June 5, 2020, and stole her phone, which he sold to 20-year-old, Shehu Usman.

The suspected ritualist said his last operation was carried out on June 29, 2020 when he brutally attacked a woman, Adeola Azeezat, 45, and her daughter, Dolapo, 23, with hand shovel.
The young man explained that anytime he wanted to go for the operation, the herbalist would instruct him to kneel down in front of him and he (Ajani) would make some incantations and then put something on his tongue three times.

The suspect added that after the operation, he would return to the herbalist, who would make some incantations again, buy food for him and give him N500.
When asked for the reasons for the killings, the young man said he didn’t know as it was the herbalist who was just sending him on such errands.
