Evil Doers: "I Gave Yaya Gambari My Father's Account Book Not For Money Rituals" Waidi Cries Out After Police Arrests Them For Stealing Human Head

A young man popularly known as Yaya gambari and his accomplices have been arrested after one of them dug into a man’s grave to steal his head for money ritual purposes.

 Alfa yaya gambari after he completed his Islamic studies, came up with the idea after he was handed a book where a late herbalist wrote down the tricks of his trade.

Waidi Soremi, 25, of 7, Aboaba Street, Itori-Oke in the Ewekoro Local Government Council Area of Ogun State, is the son of the late herbalist. He found his father’s account book after his death and handed it over to yaya gambari.

Yaya ambari 25, went through the late herbalist’s book and took special interest on the aspect of money-making ritual he found in the book and also selling fake herbs to innocent people on social media, especially Facebook.

In January, one Taiwo Mesioye, who hailed from the same neighbourhood with him, died and was brought home for burial. Waidi, and Yaya's cousin, named Taiwo Erinle, 23, all attended the funeral.

After the funeral, armed with the knowledge he got from the herbalist’s book handed to him, Yaya called Waidi and Erinle and told them that it was time for them to wriggle themselves out of poverty. He said that to do that, they will have to get the head of the man who had just been buried.

Waidi narrated, “It was during the funeral that Yaya disclosed to me that he got something very useful for us from the account book that would change our fortune for good. He said, with a human head, our condition would be better off. At that instance, we all agreed to look for a way to dig the deceased grave and make use of the head.”

He said: “I commenced the operation at about 12:00am to 3:00am”.

Waidi took the severed head and hid it in the town masquerade shrine, which was opened by Taiwo Erinle, whose father is the custodian of the said shrine.

However, when morning came, the late Mesioye’s younger brother noticed that his brother’s grave had been tampered with. He then lodged a complaint with the traditional ruler of the town, who alerted security operatives.

The three suspects, it was gathered, fled the community and went into hiding, but were fished out by the police detectives.

In their confessional statements to the police, they all conceded to have planned the desecration of the corpse and narrated the roles they all played.

However, Yaya and Taiwo said that Waidi did not inform them that he was embarking on the operation that day, an allegation Waidi did not deny.

Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Zone 2, Ahmed Iliyasu has said that the suspects will be charged to court on completion of the investigation. 

Some of the well known Alfas that yaya gambari work hand in hand with bailed him out of the police custody  while the investigation continues but with the condition he must not leave the community.
