The Sagamu road police division said it has arrested a 41-year-old man, Sikiru Kolawole, for allegedly being in possession of fresh human parts.
The spokesman of the Lagos oolice command, Mr. Adekunle Ajisebutu, who confirmed the incident, said that the suspect was reportedly found with fresh human hands, intestines and skull from Ojokoro cemetery in Ikorodu.
“The commissioner of police, Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered the case to be transferred to the state criminal investigation department (SCID) at Panti, Yaba, for diligent investigation and prosecution.
Earlier, the Ikorodu local government chairman, Wasiu Adesina, who led members of his cabinet to the scene of the crime, said the council promised to do everything necessary to curtail the dastard act and its reccurrence.
The council boss immediately directed the environment department to clear every part of the cemetery to avoid any black spot inside and outside, adding that the apprehended suspect would be dealt with according to the law to serve as a deterrent to others.
