At least eight suspects have been apprehended in connection with the alleged mutilation of a 16-year-old boy’s scrotum in Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of Osun State.
This was made public by Abiodun Ojelabi, the spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command.
Ojelabi narrated that on July 26, 2025, three of the suspects, residents of Apomu, had gone to the Arademi area of Ikire to cultivate farmland.
After clearing grass, two of them allegedly lured the teenager to a secluded bush, cut open his abdomen in an attempt to remove vital organs, and eventually removed his scrotum.
They reportedly fled when the victim raised the alarm.
The police image maker said, “The police, when contacted, immediately moved to the scene, took the victim to a hospital for medical attention, and later referred him to the University College Hospital.”
In addition, Ojelabi said the incident led to the arrest of eight suspects linked to the crime.
