However, Oyeyemi stated that he \u201cwas chased and apprehended by members of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Oyeyemi, the police at Aregbe division were invited by a member of the community, \u201cand the DPO, SP Bunmi Asogbon quickly led the patrol team to the scene, from where the suspect was brought to the station.\u201d<\/p>\n

During interrogation, the suspect was said to have claimed that he had a spiritual problem, and that a herbalist instructed him to perform the ritual.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe claimed further that the blood in his possession is not human blood, but that of cow,\u201d Oyeyemi stated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has directed that the remaining blood be taken for laboratory analysis, to ascertain whether it is human blood or not.<\/p>\n
