Nigerian Police operatives in Kwara State have arrested a 35-year-old man, Wasiu Omonose and his accomplice, Akanbi Ibrahim, 32, for allegedly being in possession of human parts.
The suspected ritualists were arrested during a stop and search at Old Ilorin/Jebba Road in Ilorin East LGA of the state, on Sunday, April 24, 2022.
It was gathered that the suspects, who were on a motorcycle, were reportedly found with a bag containing the head of a boy and two hands.
According to command’s spokesperson, Ajayi Okasanmi, “They attempted to evade the officers on stop and search, which aroused the suspicion of the operatives. Consequently, the suspects were hotly chased and forced to stop. In the process of searching them, a bag containing a fresh human head and hands were found in their possession.
Upon interrogation, the suspected ritualists stated that they were taking the fresh human head and hands to an alfa in Ilorin for ritual purposes.”
