Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Police Command in Osun says it has detained eight suspects for prosecution over the alleged mutilation of a 16-year-old boy\u2019s scrotum in Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

The command\u2019s spokesperson, DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, made this known in a statement on Monday in Osogbo.<\/p>\n

Ojelabi said three of the suspects, who reside in Apomu, had on July 26, at about 4 p.m., gone to Arademi Area, Ikire, to cultivate a farmland.<\/p>\n

He said after cutting the grass, two of the suspects lured their victim to a remote bush and cut his abdomen open in a bid to remove some vital organs in his body.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey, however, removed his scrotum and ran away when the victim raised an alarm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police, when contacted, immediately moved to the scene, took the victim to a hospital for medical attention, and later referred him to the University College Hospital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said subsequent investigation led to the arrest of eight suspects in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n

According to Ojelabi, two suspected cult members, alleged to operate at Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, were arrested on July 30 at about 11:45 a.m. in front of the school campus.<\/p>\n

He added that other arrests in July included a suspect who robbed someone of an iPhone 11 at Oke Baale, Osogbo, and another found with a cut-to-size gun after his motorcycle was stopped at Sedona, Ede.<\/p>\n

Ojelabi further said a suspect who stole a motorcycle at a mosque was also apprehended, noting that all suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.<\/p>\n
