He urged anyone who sights or knows the whereabouts of the suspects to contact the nearest police station.

Police also said some vital body parts, including the head, breasts, hands, and private parts, were missing from the victims’ remains.

The victims were said to have been lured from Ogun State to Osun State, where they were murdered by the suspects.
