A 55-year-old man, Yesiru Salisu, of 7, Odenusi Street, Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State has been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for being in possession of four human skulls, two dry human hands and three jaws.
The suspect was arrested on November 23, 2020 following a report lodged at Ago Iwoye Police Division that a man was seen with a bag suspected to contain stolen property.
When he was challenged, Salisu dropped the bag and ran into the bush.
According to the spokesman of the Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer of Ago Iwoye, CSP Paul Omiwole, led his detectives to the scene, where they opened the bag and discovered that it contained dry human parts.
Consequently, the bush he ran into was properly combed and the suspect was subsequently apprehended.
On interrogation, the suspect confessed harvesting the human parts from one Christian cemetery in Oke Eri, Ijebu Ode alongside one Lekan Bakare, who is now at large.
The Command’s Commissioner, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
Ajogun also directed that the fleeing accomplice should be hunted for and brought to justice.
