On November 19, 2023, Sherifff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria approached Oluwo Samuel Monday, seeking a ritual known as ‘Oshole’ promising a fortune of Two Hundred Million naira within seven days.
Oluwo Samuel Monday who is an herbalist agreed, charging them Eight Hundred Thousand naira for the ritual preparation.
Subsequently, he enlisted the help of Peter Oluwalolese, a purported Prophet of a white garment church experienced in sourcing human body parts for rituals.
Peter Oluwalolese engaged another Prophet Jamiu Yusuf, who, in turn, contacted Abidemi Moses, an herbalist, to procure a suitable victim for the ritual.

The ritualistic process involved burning her head, two breasts, private part, two wrists and other parts body parts in a local pot, accompanied by sacrificial rites till the next day.
Later, prophet Oluwalolese slaughtered a ram to appease the spirit of the woman in the process of performing the ritual, while some of the body parts were allegedly given to the two prophet.
Subsequently, Sheriff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria collected the purported ritual reward (Human Soap) but were dismayed when it failed to yield the promised sum.
A search of Abidemi Moses’s shrine on February 3, 2024, led to the recovery of incriminating evidence, including human remains and belongings belonging to Sulaimon Adijat and other ladies who had earlier fall victims of rituals.
