The police in Ogun have arrested three
men found in possession of human skulls.
The Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) in the state, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, made the disclosure in a
statement in Abeokuta on Friday.
Oyeyemi said two of the suspects, Saibu
Popoola and Aliu Ajiroba, were arrested on Thursday in Aiyetoro
during police patrol.
“Our men conducted a search on them
and two skulls were seen in their bag.
“They were arrested and taken to
Aiyetoro Police Station where they told the police that the skulls
were given to them by one Jimoh Ijiola who lives in Erinpa area of
Aiyetoro.
“Our men also arrested Ijiola at the
said residence on Thursday but he denied that he gave them the
skulls. “He, however, confessed that the trio
normally get skulls from the Republic of Benin for the purpose of
rituals,” he said.
Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of Police
had directed that the case be transferred to the state Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID) for further
investigation.
