We Dismember Our Abducted Victims for Sales, Fortune Soap, Magic Powder-Twins

Taiwo and Kehinde Yemitan, a set of twins (obviously from Hell) are human beings of a kind. They also share a hobby that makes the heart of an average cringes.

Whereas they are carpenters, an occupation they practice in the open which gives the impression that they are normal, they are equally practicing native doctors, a profession under which they express the devious side of their nature.

Wearing the latter toga, they kill for rituals, a hideous past-time that gives the word 'gruesome' a new meaning.

They are now cooling off their feet inside the custody of the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, where they gave a heart-tendering account of how they source their victims, snuff lives out of them before selling their body parts in bits. 

And wait for it, each part-head, heart, kidney, name them, comes with specific price tag. 

The duo spoke with Kunle Akinrinade. The account is a chilling insights into their mindless killing spree. 

Excerpts... 

My name is Taiwo Yemitan. I am from Fekemo area of Totoro, Owu, Abeokuta. My father’s name is Rafiu Yemitan. He is late now. My mother is from Gbagura area of Abeokuta too. 

My twin brother, Kehinde, and I trained as carpenters, but we also double as herbalist. I am 47 years old. 

‘We received training as herbalists in Omu Aran, Kwara State when we were contracted for carpentry job at a private university. The people who hosted us in Omu Aran were herbalists.

While I juggled carpentry with being a herbalist, Kehinde works full time as a herbalist. We have been working as herbalists for 15 years, and we operate around Premier College in Abeokuta, where our office is located.

I used to stay at Ilogbo in Ota where I was living with my wife and two children. But I usually visited my twin brother, Kehinde, in Abeokuta on weekends. 

Kehinde works as a full-time herbalist while I juggle carpentry with being a herbalist. 

‘On a particular weekend, I visited Kehinde and discovered that he was into trading in human parts and ritual killings. He introduced me to it.

We usually kill our victims and sell their body parts for money rituals, grill some and grind them into powder for consumption with alcohol or mix them with soap for a magic bath that would bring good fortunes.

We have an accomplice named Kazeem, who usually supplies us with fresh human parts. He has brought fresh human parts to us about four times. He usually wrapped them in nylon.” 

We sell ordinary body parts for N20,000 and hands or limbs for N50,000. It was the same amount we sold Darasimi’s hand. We sell a leg for N50,000 while the heart goes for N100,000.’’ 

Darasimi, a sex worker, was picked up from the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta and brought to our office on a Friday by my twin brother. 

She was served Fufu which we had sent a teenage boy called Samson to get for her from a food vendor in the neighbourhood. 

Samson is the one that helps us with chores and errands. I also ate from the meal. “It was in the evening. Kazeem arrived moments later, and that was the first time I would meet him. 

At night, Darasimi made some calls on her mobile phone and I overheard her telling someone that she would return home the next day. 

Moments later, Kehinde told me that Darasimi was the person we would kill for ritual purposes. Kehinde later moved Darasimi to an adjoining office and engaged her in a conversation during which Kazeem appeared and covered her face with a handkerchief. 

I held her legs while Kehinde also held her down to prevent her from struggling with us. Kazeem slaughtered her, severed her head and drained her blood into a bowl, mixed it with alcohol. 

Kazeem dismembered her and took a large part of her body parts including her intestines away. Kehinde told me that Kazeem would return the body parts to him later when I asked why Kazeem was taking away substantial parts of the body. 

We only took her heart, kidney, head and leg.

The buyer, named Fakorede, is a member of the Agbekoya, a local security outfit, who promised to pay N100,000 for the girl’s head. We had agreed to hand over the head to him at a certain point around Premier College area of Abeokuta. 

Kehinde was to attend a party on the Saturday I was arrested. So, Fakorede asked us to wrap the head in a sack and bring it to him around 7pm. 

I was led to the place by a boy who served as our errand boy. He told me how to get to the spot. I approached the gate of Premier College looking forward to meeting Fakorede, only to discover that I had been lured into the police net. 

As I tried to figure out how to handle the situation, operatives of Agbekoya accosted and apprehended me. I was then taken to their office at Lafenwa, Abeokuta. 

Kehinde took the boy (Samson) to his mother’s home when we were about to kill Darasimi because we didn’t want him to know what was about to happen to the lady. 

We can never kill Samson for rituals because his mother is aware that he runs errands for us and helps us to fetch water and had even slept in our home many times. 

The highest amount we collected as payment for human parts is N100,000. We sell hand and leg for N50,000; kidney and heart for N100,000 and head also for N100,000. 

Fakorede has never bought human parts from us before. He only contacted us for human parts in order to expose and arrest us. 

I had warned Kehinde about the consequences of engaging in killing and selling human parts. I know that my family members would have got wind of my arrest for ritual killing, but none of them has shown up or visited me (in police custody). 

I will never engage in this crime again. I seek forgiveness and promised not to go back to a life of crime if pardoned.
