 The Lagos police command says its operatives have arrested three suspects for alleged possession of human parts.

In a statement on Tuesday, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police spokesperson, said two of the suspects were arrested during a routine stop-and-search on the Otedola bridge.

Hundeyin said men of the rapid response squad (RRS) apprehended the suspects on October 15.

“Two suspects, Isah Amohullahi, 30, and Abubakar Isah, 32, were arrested in a taxi on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, during a routine stop-and-search on Otedola Bridge, found in possession of human tongues,” the statement reads.

 “Further investigations led the operatives to the arrest of another suspect from whom the parts were bought, Gbolahan Temidayo ‘m’, in Oyingbo Market, Lagos.”

The police spokesperson said investigations are ongoing, adding that the suspects will be arraigned if found culpable.

In July, Josephine Adeh, the police spokesperson in the federal capital territory (FCT), reported that a suspect was arrested with a human skull and bones.

The suspect claimed he found the human parts while hunting in a bush.
