In a shocking discovery, Ogun State Police have exposed two buildings posing as Cherubim and Seraphim churches that concealed human body parts. The gruesome find came after the April 22 arrest of three suspects - Sunday Akintobi (36), Oladimeji Olaniran (40), and Isaiah Tijani (38) - in different Abeokuta locations.

Police spokesperson SP Omolola Odutola revealed to PUNCH Online that SWAT operatives acted on intelligence to apprehend the suspects. "Akintobi was first arrested at Itoku around 8:00 a.m. for alleged involvement in human parts trade," Odutola stated. "This led to his accomplices' capture."
The investigation uncovered skeletal remains and other human parts carefully hidden within structures that neighbors believed were legitimate churches. "These were criminal fronts disguised as worship centers," Odutola emphasized, exposing the dark secret behind the religious facades.
Commissioner of Police Lanre Ogunlowo has ordered:
1. Thorough forensic examination of the evidence
2. Enhanced security at gravesites
