Herbalist arrested with human parts in Ondo
Parading the suspect
before newsmen, the spokesperson for the state police command, Tee-Leo Ikoro,
said Shaye was arrested after his neighbour, Ahmed Odere raised an alarm after
detecting a foul odour in their building at the Owani area of Idoani and
reported to the police.
"Odere asked
the tenants living in the compound and none of them could actually explain
where the odour was coming from. They
complained to the landlord, Abu Abedo, and he had to search everyone's
room. During the search, nothing was
found but they discovered later that Mr Shaye was not around and they had to go
look for him. When they found him, they
led him into his apartment and eventually discovered that the smell was coming
from there. He brought out a sack bag
containing burnt flesh, human head and two hands." Ikoro said
Shaye was arrested
and during his interrogation, he told the police that two brothers, Dipo Jimoh
and Damaka Jimoh, contracted him to help them get a human skull.
"It was Dipo and Damaka that contacted
me to help them cut the head and hands of a dead man in Isua-Akoko area. They
told me their father need human parts and promised me money if I am able to get
it but the the police arrested me before I could take it to them." Shaye said
The police say
investigation is ongoing and the suspect will be charged to court soon.
