Twin Brothers Arrested for Brutal Murder and Dismemberment of Sex Worker in Ogun
By Abdulmajeed Abdullateef, Abeokuta – January 1, 2025
A chilling crime in Ogun State has led to the arrest of twin brothers Kehinde and Taiwo Yemitan, who are accused of the brutal murder and dismemberment of a commercial sex worker. The disturbing incident has ignited fear in the region and raised alarm about the rise of ritual killings.
On December 22, 2024, Taiwo Yemitan and his accomplice Kazeem were apprehended by the Ogun State Police after luring a woman, identified only as Darasimi, to their home under the pretense of a paid engagement. Tragically, Darasimi was murdered, and her body was mutilated in what is suspected to be a ritualistic killing.
After Taiwo’s arrest, the police launched an urgent search for his twin brother Kehinde, who was believed to be involved in the crime. With the help of the So Safe Corps, the police were able to locate Kehinde in the Ilogbo Ota community. On December 30, 2024, following a tip-off from a community member, Kehinde was arrested.
Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police, confirmed the arrest and stated that Kehinde had confessed to his role in the murder. He admitted to conspiring with his brother and others to lure Darasimi to their home for ritual purposes. Local residents also corroborated reports of Kehinde’s involvement in other criminal activities.
The arrest of the Yemitan brothers has cast a spotlight on the growing concern over ritual killings in Ogun State. Kehinde has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
Odutola, in her statement, took the opportunity to warn young women about the risks of engaging in casual relationships or “hookups” for financial gain. She urged women to avoid relationships that may expose them to exploitation and violence, which can often lead to tragic consequences.
“The unfortunate death of Darasimi should serve as a stark warning. It’s important for young women to be aware of the dangers of relationships motivated solely by money, and parents should be vigilant in guiding their children to avoid such dangerous paths,” Odutola stressed.
As the investigation continues, this case serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers lurking within certain societal practices and the need for greater awareness and caution, especially among vulnerable women.
