The Osun State Police Command has arrested an
herbalist, Adeniyi Adeyeye, with a suspected human skull at Moro, in the Ife
North Local Government Area.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fimihan
Adeoye, said on Tuesday that Adeyeye was arrested in Ipetumodu following
a tip-off.
Adeoye said, “We are still still investigating.
He will be charged to court soon.”
The suspect initially told PUNCH Metro that one Akin, who was
living in his house, brought the skull and he (Adeyeye) sent him packing
because of that.
He said he was surprised that policemen arrested
him because of the skull.
Adeyeye later changed his story when he was
accused of wanting to use the skull for money ritual for a client.
While denying the ownership of the skull, he
admitted telling the client that money ritual must involve the use of human
parts.
The police also paraded another herbalist,
Babatunde Awolola, and one Ademola.
Thirty-nine-year-old Awolola was arrested in the
Iwo area with two suspected human hands.
Awolola said he bought the hands from one
Olakanmi for N10,000, adding that Ademola, a commercial motorcycle rider, did
not know the content of the bag.
He explained that the two hands were got from
corpses in a graveyard.
He said, “I am an herbalist. I bought the
hands from Olakanmi for N10,000. I buy other human parts from him also. The
hands were got from a corpse.”
