A man identified only as Musa has been apprehended in the Amuloko area of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, for being in possession of a fresh human skull believed to belong to an unidentified woman.
The incident unfolded when local residents, noticing Musa’s suspicious behaviour, confronted him and demanded to inspect the sack he was carrying. To their horror, they discovered a human skull inside.
The unsettling discovery was shared on social media, with a video of the suspect posted on X by OyoAffairs.
The caption read, “Man caught with a fresh human head earlier today in Amuloko area of Ibadan. He has been handed over to the police.”
During initial questioning by the community, Musa reportedly confessed to being part of a syndicate involved in the sale of human body parts.
He has since been handed over to the police, who have launched a further investigation into the case, with a view to prosecuting those involved in the criminal operation.
