The Nigeria Police, Oyo State Command, says it has arrested a 45-year-old Islamic cleric over alleged possession of fresh human parts.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), SP Adewale Osifeso, made the disclosure when he paraded the cleric among other suspected criminals at the command’s headquarters in Ibadan, on Friday.

He said police detectives arrested the suspect at about 10 am on Nov. 6, at Ogbere-tioya Area, Ibadan.

Osifeso alleged that the arrest was made possible following credible intelligence reports from members of the public.

“The dragnet of the command caught up with the cleric after purposeful investigations and tracking around Ogbere-tioya Area, Ibadan, under Ona-ara Local Government Area.

“The suspect was found in possession of items suspected to be fresh human head and two hands,” which he said were given to him by one Tijani Waheed, now at large,” Osifeso said.

Speaking with newsmen, the suspect alleged that the fresh human head and two hands found in his possession were for ritual purposes.

“I have one wife and two children and things are very hard for me in taking good care of them.

“I met one Waheed, who is also an Islamic cleric at a Maolud. We discussed the issue and he told me that he knows how to do money ritual that would require the use of human parts.

“I told him that I don’t know how to get the human parts and he promised to get it for me.

“He later brought the human parts to me at Amuloko where we met early in the morning and I kept it in my office where I attend to people seeking spiritual assistance.

“The police came to search my office on the day Waheed gave me the fresh head and two hands,” he said.

The suspect said that the person who gave him the human parts was now at large.

In another development, the police also paraded seven suspected cultists, one murder suspect and a motorcycle snatcher.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the arrest of the suspected Islamic ritualist would make it the second ritual-related case in the last two weeks in the state.

Police personnel on patrol had on Oct.16, arrested three Islamic clerics around Agbarigo Junction, Ibadan, for alleged possession of human parts.

Similarly, the PRO said the command’s operatives arrested eight other suspected criminals for their alleged involvement in cultism and murder.

He said some of the recovered items included an improvised gun, an axe, 17 wraps of loud drugs, laptop and cell phones.

A 19-year-old man arraigned before Mutawatawa magistrate on charges of having sexual intercourse with his 14-year-old sister in Uzumba, Zimbabwe, has been convicted.

It was gathered that in January 2023, the 19-year-old man decided to take things a notch up bizarrely as he chatted with his sister. He asked his sister to be his girlfriend. Strangely, the 14-year-old admitted to feeling the same way for her brother.

The two decided to hit it off and start dating. They decided to keep their relationship under wraps, knowing how much trouble it would attract if ever known.

During their relationship, the 19-year-old man convinced his sister to have sex with him. She agreed, and the two did the act on different occasions, both at home and in the garden. However, the girl later got pregnant and this was noticed by their grandmother.

Upon being questioned, she revealed her brother was responsible. The grandmother reported the case to the police, leading to the 19-year-old man’s arrest for incest. He appeared in a Mutawatawa Court, where the Magistrate sentenced him to 14 months in jail. Two months were struck off, and he will serve an effective 12 months.

A 75-year-old barber, Nwankwo Nweke has been arrested for defiling an 8-year-old girl in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

The suspect, who hails from Isi Agu in Awka South Local Government Area of the state, confessed to the crime, claiming that ‘temptation that made him have carnal knowledge of the girl.’

The suspect pleaded for mercy and promised to be of good behaviour if the state government pardoned him.

The parents of the victim, Mr John and Mrs Ogochukwu Ugwuanyi explained that they sent their child to get something at a nearby shop around 7pm. When she came back they noticed the items weren’t complete and asked her to return to the shop after which they started looking for her.

The parents stated that they quickly went to the shop to look for her but didn’t see her which prompted them to raise alarm over her sudden disappearance in the neighborhood.

Unknown to them, the suspect had already taken her to his house and told her not to answer her name.

They revealed that the suspect, who at the time was their neighbour, pushed the 8-year-old out of his room when he felt the search was over.

On how they knew what transpired between their daughter and the suspect, Mr and Mrs Ugwuanyi said that when their daughter finally came back that night, they questioned her to know what happened.

She told them that the suspect lured her to his house with a promise to give her mango.

They noted that it was at that point that they involved security operatives before taking their child to the hospital.
