The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two
men, Wole Oke and Wasiu Adesina, for allegedly
being in possession of human parts.
The suspects were arrested last Friday at Ijemo Idi
Aro area of Abeokuta while policemen attached to
the Oke Itoku division were on a routine patrol of
the area.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, said the two suspects, on sighting the
police team, took to their heels, with one of them
clutching a leather bag.
He said the police team chased and got them
arrested.
He said, “On searching the bag with them, it was
discovered that it contained human bones. On
interrogation, one of the suspects, Wole Oke,
confessed that they were the bones of his sister
who died four years ago.”
Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police,
added that Oke revealed that a herbalist asked him
to bring the bones for money ritual.
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police,
Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered the transfer of the
suspects to the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta, for
further investigation.
He said the CP had also directed that the herbalist
mentioned in the matter be arrested.
