[size=15pt]Man arrested with 9 human skulls in Lagos[/size]
Olalekan Olabulo, Lagos - 25.09.2008

The police in Lagos State on Tuesday night arrested a man with nine human skulls which were reportedly exhumed from a cemetery in Akoka area of the state.

The suspect, Tunde Adenuga, a 42-year-old indigene of Ondo State, was arrested around 11:00 p.m. by policemen from Sabo divisional police station after trailing his activities at the Atan Cemetery in Akoka.


The father of seven, however, confounded everybody while being paraded when he said his belief in horoscopes, which said children born on November 19 will make fortune digging graves, led him to the act.


Adenuga was paraded alongside five suspected robbers and an impostor on Wednesday before newsmen by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo, at the police headquarters in Ikeja.


Adenuga told journalists that he had been in the business for a long time.


He claimed to be a former cemetery worker, pointing out that he was formerly using the skulls for rituals himself until he met a buyer he identified as Sulaimon Ogunyemi, a herb seller at the Awolowo Market in Mushin.


He added that his Tuesday trip to the cemetery was inevitable as he had to source for fund to finance a new accommodation since he had been given quit notice where he lived.


The suspect also claimed that he exhumed the skulls from the temporary site of the cemetery since tombs at the site were not well cemented.


Also paraded alongside Adenuga were four suspected armed robbers who allegedly invaded a building in Lafiaji area of Lagos Island and robbed the occupants of valuables.

This is really sad oh, so they wont even allow the dead to rest in peace, all because of money?

Illiteracy, backwardness, barbarism, idiocy, stupidity and fear are the hallmarks of any society that submerges itself in the belief of fiction and disbelief of reality. The widespread belief among Nigerians that illiterate men chanting gibberish in dirty remotely located huts possess supernatural powers with no limits has created a market for all manner of things in Nigeria.

Ordinarily, this lunatic caught with human heads would be feared by the average Nigerian because he (the grave-robber) stated that he had used human skulls for rituals. However, the timid Nigerians scared of such a hopelessly powerless fellow will not put their pitiful brain to task and ask the most obvious questions:
1. If the juju-man had so much power that many feared him, how was it possible that he was caught?
2. Why can't he clap his hands and disappear from the police cell?
3. Why can't he slap his face and turn into a fly and fly away from police custody?

Were the suspects merely trying to get aHEAD of the competition by keeping their HEADS while all about them were losing theirs, or were they merely HEADING for trouble by collecting skulls, since they were making no HEADWAY in their day-time jobs, filling them with envy over the HEADY success attained by their contemporaries who had landed plum jobs on the referral of HEAD-HUNTERS ?

At the same time, deny the fact that super natural power exists at your own peril.

Enjoyed the heady post!

Supernatural powers may exist, however, it is fantastic to believe, assume or think that humans (natural beings) can control the unnatural (supernatural in this case).

We can't even control the physical laws (you know anyone that can stop the earth's rotation? ) around us, talkless of delving into the non-physical (or supernatural in this case).

No human has powers beyond the natural.

Go win World Cup with your juju make we hear word!
