The commissioner of police in the state, Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa, confirmed that the Anti-Cultism/kidnapping Squad of the command recovered the two human heads from Otu Edem Bassey, 30, in Calabar.

He said police operatives swooped on Bassey and his gang when they were preparing some rituals for their outing. He said Bassey was picked up at his No. 12b Etim Edem Street residence in Calabar, while others took to their heels. .

He said charms and other items used for incantation were also recovered, adding that the suspect would soon be charged to court when investigation is completed.

Speaking to reporters, the suspect accused the police of arresting him and claimed that he was a traditional healer. “The skulls were given to me by my late father to continue with the traditional medicines which he used to practice to cure people. .

I am a herbalist and I heal people of different sickness. I have my license to operate as a herbalist. Somebody ran in front of my house and the Police came to my house to arrest me. .

They have no right because I have been using these skulls for my jobs since my father left it for me some eight years ago,” Bassey said.

Shut up you human eclipse! Can u imagine what's coming out of his mouth. All ritualists who deal on human parts including those who patronize them can all relocate to Cotonou. There it's almost legal,their major religion is voodoo and they do it openly. I learned there is a market or even more than one where they openly sell human skull and other parts for their rituals,govt don't disturb them. Y'all can relocate there.

Technically, he can't be charged for murder as the skulls can be dated and there really isn't any evidence he killed the owners.

He can be charged for grave robbery which is a misdemeanor

I'm sure the law does not accommodate wasting human lives in the name of traditional healing. ThR guy was caught with human skulls for goodness sake! There is no law that justified using human skulls for healing.

Of course you have vague constitution that can be interpreted by just any attorney that knows how to screw the law.

If he's a licensed herbalist I can assure you that nothing will touch him as long as he can prove that he gained access to those skulls with the consent of whoever that is related to the diseased that own those skulls and conducting a DNA profiling on those skulls is where the case will die in court. Our police can't push that far.

And you are sure he had to kill someone to access the skulls?

What about medical students and cadavers?
Did the students kill the people to obtain their specimen?

Na lie jor. Your relatives cannot sell your skull and go free. I dont think he has the right to own human skulls, inherited or not.

The cadavers used by medical students are got legally and are required for them to learn. Moreover, these cadavers will always be found in cadaver rooms, not in the students' rooms. Even when parts like vertebra and other bones have to be taken out, a signed consent is required stating the number of bones being taken out and such student is required to return them back unfailingly. These days, artificial models of human body parts are common.
Of what use exactly are the skulls to the so-called traditional healer?
Whether he had to kill someone or not, the fact remains that he has to explain how he came about the skull.

If Cadavers can be possessed by qualified practitioners same privilege should be given to licenced traditionalists.

It should only be an issue in the case of theft or murder.

What's the evidence that this man killed those two people or has killed anyone before?

It might be true that his father gave him the skulls to practice his herbal healing.

Police should go and arrest herdsmen.

Well, yes he can. The prosecution’s case will be weak though...so weak that conviction will almost certainly evade them. They can’t prove he robbed any grave, he clearly states his father gave them to him.
