A gang of human parts sellers have been arrested by the operatives of the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad following a tip-off.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, thereafter directed
the SARS Commander, Abba Kyari to arrest the four-man gang identified as:
Olakunle Ogunsola, Oyebamiji Olalekan, Rasheed Opeyemi and Akorede
Wasiu.
The gang members each confessed to the crime, revealing how much they
buy the body parts, what they use the body parts to do and some of their
buyers.
26-year-old Olakunle from Ilaro in Ogun State who is said to be the gang
leader was arrested at the Ile Epo Market in the Oke Odo area of Lagos,
Oyebamiji was caught at the Oja Oba Market in Abule Egba while the other
two suspects, Opeyemi and Wasiu, were arrested in the Ajegunle and Ijaiye
areas of Lagos respectively.
The gang leader, Olakunle who is married with a child made a shocking
confession that he had sold human parts to both Christian and Muslim
clerics in the past saying: “I usually sell herbs at the Ile Epo Market. It was
one Waheed Ajigbotoloun that introduced selling human parts to me. That
was just last year October. He was my supplier too, and he told me he used
to get them from Joju Cemetery in Sango Ota, Ogun State.
“I didn’t always buy the human parts except when there was a request for
them from my customers. Upon request, I have bought human skulls and
meat from him for my customers. Some of them are pastors, imams, and
native doctors too. I have sold human parts to two pastors this year, but I
cannot remember the names of their churches.”
Olakunle, however added that the meat which he buys between N6,000 to
N10,000 could be any part of the human body saying: “The first pastor I sold
to is based in Sango Otta, Ogun State. He paid me N24,500 for the parts. The
clerics use these to make their congregations move forward. I also use
some of the parts to make charm powder.
“I am not the only seller in the market. There is also one Lukman, who we
popularly call Oosa. But since I started, I have bought only six human
skulls.”
Olakunle claimed to have finished from the Lagos State University in
February 2013 where he studied Accounting. He added that he financed his
university education with proceeds from the sale of herbs and human parts.
Oyebamiji , a 40-year-old man who hails from Ibadan, Oyo State also
confessed to selling human parts to many people saying: “I have been a
trader at the Oja Oba Market for the past three years. It is not that I sell only
human parts. However, each of the part I sold went for between N6,000 and
N7,000. The supplier told me he was getting them from the cemetery. I have
sold five to six pieces. I know it was wrong to do this, but I was looking for
money.”
51-year-old Opeyemi, a native doctor from Ikirun, Osun State who said he
bought the human parts to cure one of his patients in the past said: “I am an
Alhaji and also a star reader. I had called prayers several times at a mosque
in the Ajegunle. I used the human parts only once for the treatment of one of
my patients. The boy was cured and I never bought human parts from
anyone again.”
Meanwhile Wasiu, a 31-year-old married man with four kids native doctor
from Sango Ota, Ogun State, said he bought two human skulls to prepare
concoctions for women looking for children and confessed to have bought
each skull for N4,000.
The police source said SARS men were still investigationing while adding
that the suspects had confessed, naming more human parts buyers who
had yet to be arrested.
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide is yet to comment on
the development.
