Oluwo of Iwo, Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has expressed concern over cases of ritual killings and condemned the act.

The monarch in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, on Wednesday, called on stakeholders to checkmate the incessant traditional corruption, most especially ritual killings.

The statement partly reads:

“Amotekun as an institution should be made to fight traditional corruption most especially ritual killings consuming our children’s blood daily. There is blood of innocent people in the street.

“It is a failure on the part of government, traditional institution and other stakeholders that no severe legislation is enacted to punish ritual killers and their accomplice.

“I want to charge all the stakeholders to streamline the activities of Amotekun to prioritize checkmating of ritual killings to protect innocent lives and enact death penalty for any culprit caught killing human for rituals. I’m not happy with ritual killers.”
