“But the lady, deceased, had been killed and pieced by the ritualists, led by one Femi Marcauay, a.k.a Awise, who owns the den but now at large.
“Some parts of her body were buried in a shallow grave at the shrine, while some pieces of “meat” suspected to be her flesh and heart roasted were seen in some containers in the shrine.”
As a result of these discoveries, police swung into action and have arrested five suspects, all men. They are;
