Some yet-to-be identified ritualists have invaded Ipokia community in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, digging out no fewer than 40 skulls from graves.

It was gathered that the ritualists usually operate at night when people must have gone to bed.

In different parts of the town, they were said to have dug the graves to exhume skulls and other human parts.


Sources from the community told our correspondent that the ritualists started the act about two months ago and they have succeeded in making away with scores of dry human heads.

It was further gathered that nobody has been arrested since the exhumation of corpses began in Ipokia town.

Being the headquarters of Ipokia Local Government, the ancient town, plays host to different security agencies, including police divisional headquarters, an office of the Department of State Services (DSS), an office of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the So-Safe Corps, the Amotekun Corps and others.

However, residents of Ipokia said none of the security agencies have devised any means to track down those behind the removal of skulls from graves in the town.

“They sneak into people’s compounds, dig the grave and remove the skull and any other parts they need. They will do it in a manner residents won’t wake up to know there is anything going on around them. You will just wake up in the morning to see that the grave in your compound has been dug and the skull removed. But nobody has been arrested since two months ago, when this aberration started,” a source said.

An elder in Ipokia, Prince Samuel Adeyemi, said two corpses were dug out in his compound on Friday, lamenting that nobody is doing anything to stop the act.

Adeyemi said the ‘skull harvesters’ are becoming more desperate in their bid to steal as many skulls from the tombs in Ipokia, for reasons best known to them.

The nonagenarian said he had reported the incident to the police, urging the authorities concerned to act fast and bring the perpetrators to book.

“Dead bodies are no longer safe in Ipokia because some people want to become billionaires overnight. Please help us,” he lamented.

When contacted, the Ogun State Police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he was yet to be briefed about the incident, promising to contact the Ipokia Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for details.

Fetish is to some of my Yoruba brothers just as pushing drugs is to my igbo brothers.


and Yes, fetish does work

Drugnibu Boys at work.

The dead no longer rest in peace in that region.

"Dead bodies are no longer safe at ipokia" Egwu dikwa.

Thank God they didn't go for 40 fresh heads.

We would have ended the year with 40 obituary announcements if they had done so.

Yorubas and ritual killing are like 5&6.

Ogun, the capital of skull mining

No be small end of the year mining lol, ops too much

End of year mining indeed... Lmfao

Heartless people

It is finished. Security is important in Yoruba land, for the dead even more than the living.

Chai! Even the dead are not allowed to rest in peace but running for dear life even in the world beyond because of the criminal activities of these skull miners or tomb raiders. Tufiakwa!

This tribe believe they are sophisticated, yorubas are one of the most primitive and backward ethnic tribe in the world

Seun's village people have not repented from their old ways

Every new year same thing in the west.

Kedu nnoo ihe mmadu ji isi kote n'ebe ndi afonjaa no bikonu. Tufiakwa!!!

There is no security in the burial ground again? This foolish people should stop this nonsense.

You must be from Okija,the originators' of skulling

Erudite skullers

End of the year mining abi new year mining

Holy guacamole!

Plenty people for that Ogun state get fully paid skullarship to study mining.

Obi will rescue them from that pitiable business come 2023!

Because of the white man's God and the Arab man's idea, people no longer know what they call tradition, rites and custom.
We now call our ancestors, devil worshippers and primitive cave men.

Don't get me wrong. Desecrating the bodies of the dead is a crime everywhere, and should be abhorrent to us all. But, then again, that was how the first physicians started the field of medicine.

Funny and barbaric st the same time.

-Grave robbing? This tribal people are still living with 16th century mentality in the 21st century.

-To stop these, arrest and prosecute all those fetish individuals - politicians, traditional rulers, and civil servants - that are paying them.
