of the public refused to allow them leave with the suspect.
The community members insisted on carrying out jungle justice on the suspect which the police refused resulting in altercation.
In the ensuing melee, the hoodlums reportedly attacked the police
patrol team that came, vandalising its patrol van in the process.

the police, making vehicles and passersby to make a detour from the
area to prevent being caught in the midst of the chaos.
They were said to have attempted to burn the police van with the
policemen in it, making the patrol team to quickly leave the scene.
However, the hoodlums again barricaded the two gates leading to the
community to prevent the policemen from leaving until reinforcement was
sent to join the team.
When interrogated by the police, Musiliu confessed to have exhumed a
corpse and cut its head, saying it was meant for sale to those who
intended to carry out money ritual.
He also disclosed that he had sold two human parts to those who needed them in the past.

Police Command while the suspect with human head had been taken into
the custody at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence

Police Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said that the
hoodlums attacked the police for not allowing them to take laws into
their hands.
