For trading in human parts for money ritual purposes, a high court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State, has convicted one local herb seller (alagbo), herbalist, student and four others. The offence was committed in March 2017.

The convicts were found guilty of such offences as criminal conspiracy, being in possession of human parts like 11 human skulls, 11 lower jaw bones, bunch of hair and 29 pieces of bones taken from various burial grounds in Ilorin, the state capital.

In the judgment that lasted for over two hours yesterday, the state chief judge, Justice Durosinloun Kawu, described activities of the convicts as despicable and shameful. He sentenced the first convict, Azeez Yakubu, to 15 years imprisonment with N100,000 fine each on three counts, which he said would run concurrently.


Other convicts, who include a middle-aged woman, Aishat Yinusa, Lukman Saka, AbdulGaniyu Bamidele, Ahmed Yahaya, Saliu Ayinde and Abdurasak Babamale, were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with N100,000 fine each on two count charges that would run concurrently. Justice Kawu also said the prison terms would include period already spent in prison custody, adding that they were free to appeal the judgment within 30 days of delivery.

The judge had earlier overruled that the convicts were tortured by SARS police in Abuja to extract information contained in their written statement, describing the defence as unreasonable and inconsistent, while also affirming that the evidences found on the convicts were not parts of animals like monkeys or gorillas, but that of human beings.

The head of pathology department of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Dr. Kazeem Ibrahim, was invited to ascertain that the parts were human parts.

Like I said earlier, this is no joke.
Don't you have ritual killings in your east?

The only way we can stop this thing is to keep exposing the people involved.
