ABUJA-(MaraviPost)-A 58-year-old native doctor, Oluwole Olapade is under police custody after being found in possession of two human skulls and liver.
Sate Commissioner of Police Johnson Kokumo, confirmed the incident after they successfully apprehended the suspect on a stop-and-search duty on commercial bus.
The suspect together with his accomplice, a cemetery attendant, Adesina Adeniyi, made a confession to police that they exhumed two human skulls and cut off some body parts, which they intended to use for another money ritual after the first attempt failed to yield money.
The forty-two-year-old Adeniyi of the Kajola area of Iwo who was an attendant at the Muslim Cemetery admitted to stealing human parts from burial grounds, which he intended to sell to Olapade for N20,000.
As reported by Punch news, Adeniyi was apprehended after police discovered decomposing human skulls and liver in his possession.
Responding to commissioner of police’s questions, Olapade admitted to contracting Adeniyi to look for human skulls for him.
“At the first attempt, the head I got didn’t bring money. So, I contracted Adeniyi to get another head for me, which he did. Unfortunately, he was caught by the police,” he said.
The Commissioner, Kokumo has said the two suspects will soon appear before court.
