Two suspected ritualists Murtala Aliyu 30 and Saheed Raji 40 have been paraded along side with one fake medical Mr. Orimisan by the Oyo State Police Command.
The suspects were said to have been terrorizing the environment and were in possession of human flesh.
Speaking while parading the suspects, Oyo state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abiodun Odude said Mr. Orimisan, a 40-year-old fake medical doctor, had been parading himself as a staff of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
The CP said “The suspect, who claimed to be knowledgeable in curing some ailments through herbs, had been obtaining money from owners of chemist shops in Ibadan under the guise of checking for fake drugs.
“The suspect had gone to a drug store at Abanla village in Idi-Ayunre, in Oluyole Local Government Area of the state and fraudulently collected some drugs and money.
“A report was thereafter made to the Idi-Ayunre Police Division, which eventually led to his arrest.
“Further investigation carried out by detectives attached to the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID) revealed that the suspect was expelled from the Delta State University College of Medicine due to his poor academic performance.
“Items recovered from him included a fake Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) identity card, a stethoscope, a pair of white overall and some certificates suspected to have been forged or stolen”.
Orimisan while speaking on the allegation said he was invited to Abanla village to treat a lady, and after he was done, he saw a patent medicine store owner and went there, introducing himself as a staff of UCH, and that he had been sent to check the validity of their drugs.
“The lady then invited the police, and that was how I was arrested”, Orimisan confessed.
