A man who has been nabbed for committing an unbelievably grievous crime, has made a shocking confession about what happened.
The suspects
Policemen from the Oyo State Police Command have arrested t
hree persons in possession of two human skulls at a hideout in Ogbomoso.
Samuel Adegbuyi, t
he state Commissioner of
Police, revealed that the arrest was made after the police received
information from members of the public, who had raised the alarm that
the suspects were dealing in human parts.
According to The Punch, one of the
skulls was discovered to have had what looked like a deep machete cut at
its temple, leaving the police to suspect that the person the head
belonged to might have been gruesomely killed.
Ramoni Akeem, 41, Azeez Ojelade, 36, and Salimon Salami, 40, were the suspects arrested by the police.
Akeem said he paid N10, 000 for the skulls and that Salami was the vendor.
Akeem said, “I am a herbalist and I
heal people with herbs. I have never used body parts for rituals. One
day, a friend came to me and said his friend discovered two corpses on a
land where he had wanted to cut trees. He asked if I knew what body
parts could be used for. I told him that I did not know anything about
charms prepared with body parts.
“One of our friends, Saheed Ifa,
who is a senior herbalist, heard about it and said he could make use of
the skulls to prepare charms. When the skulls were produced, the man who
brought them demanded for N10, 000. I paid him in four instalments. But
that is all I know about the skulls. Ifa has travelled to Lagos. I
don’t know where he lives in Lagos.”
Salami, who claimed to have discovered the corpses, denied any wrongdoing.
He said,
“I was asked to cut some trees on a large piece of land but when I got
there, I discovered two corpses and I told a friend that I was afraid to
work on the land because someone killed two people there. He said I
should continue with my work while he looked for what to do with the
corpses. When he got a buyer, he contacted me and I went back to the
bush and dismembered the heads from the bodies,” he said.
