The police in Lagos have arrested three members of a gang alleged to be dealers in human parts.
The suspects, Mustapha Murtala, Sunday Oluyeba and Adenike Olanrewaju ,were caught with 2 human skulls and were arrested after the police received a tip-off regarding their activities.
Murtala said:
“I am a herbalist from Sagamu, Ogun State. I was introduced to human parts business by one Sunday Oluyeba three years ago.
They later came and requested a human head with an offer of N30,000. They said they wanted to use it to prepare concoction for a pregnant woman in labour .
“Sunday brought the human head and I paid him N15,000 for it. This is the second time I am buying a human skull from him. I do not know where he got them from.”
Olanrewaju, who is a mother of 2, was arrested due to her husband’s connection to the illicit trade.
She said:
“I have been married to Juwon for five years and we have two children. My husband is a herbalist but I didn’t know he was dealing in human parts. I was arrested because my husband whom they came to arrest ran away.
The case is being investigated and the suspects will soon be charged for their crimes.
