Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested two suspects for unlawful possession of three human skulls in the Ijebu area of the state.
The first suspect, identified as motorcycle rider Kadir Owolabi, was apprehended on Monday around 2:00 p.m. by operatives of the 71 Police Mobile Force (PMF), Awa Ijebu. The officers were conducting a stop-and-search operation along the Ijebu Ode–Ibadan Expressway, near the Refugees Camp Junction in Oru Ijebu, when a search of his luggage uncovered the human remains.
Ogun Police spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Tuesday, noting that further investigation led to the arrest of another suspect, Jamiu Yisa, 53, behind the Ijebu Ode Local Government Secretariat.
CSP Odutola said the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to take over the case for detailed investigation.
She reaffirmed the command’s commitment to combating crime and appealed to residents to cooperate with security agencies in ridding the state of criminal elements.
“The public is assured of trust, confidentiality, and protection of identity when providing information,” she added.
