Police Arrests Man With 7 Human Skulls In Kwara
A suspected ritualist, Olayinka Abbas Akeem, has been arrested and paraded by the Kwara State Police Command with seven human skulls said to have been exhumed from a cemetery.
Akeem was arrested along Ilorin-AjaseIpo road with a sack containing the human skulls by policemen on a stop and search operation on Tuesday, November 21, 2017.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Lawan Ado, said on interrogation, the suspect confessed that himself and his friend identified as Tunde aka Bante, exhumed the human parts from a cemetery located at Igbo Owu community in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.
CP Ado said Akeem further confessed that Bante lured him into exhuming the corpses with the belief that using human parts for ritual is the surest way of making fast money.
The CP added that while Akeem was apprehended by the police, Bante took to his heels and he is currently on the run while all efforts are being made to track him down and bring him to justice.
