An Islamic cleric named Oluwafemi Idris has been arrested by police detectives for unlawfully possessing fresh human parts in Ondo state.

According to a police source, the suspected ritualist was apprehended in a town in the Akoko area of the state.

A statement from the spokesperson for the state command, Funmi Odunlami, revealed that police detectives received information about the suspect’s activities from a reliable source.

Odunlami explained, “The suspect, also known as Alfa, kept the human parts in his house and intended to use them for ritual purposes.”

“The Police swung into action and apprehended the suspect,” Odunlami added.

During a search conducted at his house in Akoko, various human body parts were found in his possession, including human hands, three kidneys, three hearts, spine, and a tongue.

“The suspect claimed he is an Islamic cleric, and some of the human parts were supplied by his friend, an Alhaji, who is also a cleric, and one Samuel Kutelu, while he supplied one Babatunde Kayode, an Oluawo, with three human heads,” Odunlami stated.

She further noted, “Oluawo and Babatunde Kayode have been arrested.”

Efforts are underway to arrest the other cleric who the suspect claimed sourced the human parts for him.
