Inside human parts market in Lagos.
Sunday, February 15, 2009

More Stories on This Section
Jankara market is self- effacing and deceptively ordinary. Located close to Idumagbo area of Lagos Island, the market is just a stretch of an old street.

Ears on the ground
Like other streets and markets, canvassers and touts hang around the place pitching for customers and mugus (gullible people). Though low in reputation,touts are an essential segment of this time – honoured market. Over the years, the place has come to be known as a place where any thing goes. And so, the touts come handy here.
They have their ears on the ground, and therefore know all the goings-on.

Book and wait
A week ago, our reporter posed as a juju priest who was in dire need of human body parts for urgent rituals. After about four hours of waiting and being passed from one “contact” to another, and played around like ping-pong, the reporter got a dealer who “booked” him. The rule here is, if you want a fresh human body part, you book and wait. If your order is for dry parts you get instant delivery.
But you must be an expert in human anatomy to decipher the parts you want from man’s closest animal relations – gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey.

Dark secret
But don’t jump to a hasty conclusion, there are genuine traders and honest businessmen and women at Jankara.They perhaps don’t even know that the place also habour a dark secret. A police post even looks over the place. A signpost calls it Oko Awo Police Post. An office on the counter there stared at our reporter angrily when he asked him if the police know about the wheeling and dealing in human body parts in the area: “What kind of question be this? I beg go, no be for here—o” the police officer retorted angrily.

Menumo
This expression when translated literally means “seal your lips” in Yoruba. The term is said in whisper and hushed tone — menu…mo .When you say the first syllable, you pause, look around to be sure there’s no third party or curiosity cat eaves dropping. When a deal is struck, you will be taken to some dank shanties and courtyard for your consignment.

The business is all about raw cash. A fresh human head has a street value of N250, 000. Fresh internal organs like heart, lung, kidney, and so on go for 500,000 a piece.
Other vital parts like penis, vagina and breast costs N50,000 each.Fresh tongue is sold at N100,000.
Sunday Sun learnt when a tongue is “ritualized and jujufied” that it “works well” for traders and people who apply for visa to go abroad “when well prepared, no one go question you for embassy and even your working place”, a dealer whose alias is Baba Ibeji revealed.
Toe and finger, Sunday Sun further learnt are good for travelers and business people. “ The toe is for traveling without falling.
The finger is to make money. Any thing you touch turns to money”, Baba Ibeji said.
Fresh toe and finger goes for N50,000 each.

Ritual animals
Even animals considered endangered species are not spared in Jankara. Herbalist beside the area’s butcher shop openly sell a wide range of animals. Imprisoned in wire-mesh cages are live animals like eagles, tortoise, chamellion, alligator and so on. A live eagle goes for N10,000.
Dead and dry one costsN500,000. Live Tortois costN5,000 while ordinary empty one is sold for N2,500.
Live chamelion costs N2,500. Dead and dry one goes for N2,000. The lizard-like creature, Sunday Sun learnt, is in demand by Advance Fee Fraudster —419. “When the thing is worked”, it means the more you look, the less you see, you will never caught,” one of the dealers who declined to give his name said.

Tough-skinned
The dealers know their terrain and the world they inhabit.They smell and sense danger in the air all the time. They are inclined to do business with you if you mention and have a prove of a regular Juju priest and customer. Even at this, they will still carry out a check on you. There’s no physical search. Under the pretex of “bringing your thing”, they will call your guarrantor and run a check on you. Any discovery of falsehood, they will cancel the deal and melt out of sight, leaving you to wait forever

Where missing people go
Jankara might be the possible place where missing persons in Lagos resurface but reduced to faceless, liveless body parts. As though to corroborate this, the managing director of Lagos State waste Management Authority (LAWMAN), Mr Ola Oresanya told Sunday Sun in an interview that hardly a day passes in the city without street sweepers and refuse collectors picking dismembered corpses and body parts.

“The corpses and body parts may be the handwork of ritualist and hit-and-run drivers”, he said.
Meanwhile Sunday Sun learnt that the morgues in the city are brimming with unclaimed dcorpses.There’s no more land for mass burial. So cremnation is the only option,” the source said.

He can hardly invade Ukraine, talk of Poland with NATO ? Why do you think he is always talking about Nuclear weapons ? Because he knows that he cannot withstand NATO in a conventional war.

The Special Assistant to President Buhari on Digital and New Media, Tolu Ogunlesi took to his twitter handle to share an update on the Muhammadu Buhari Bridge (MBB). He stated that the bridge is near completion and will be commissioned by President Buhari before the end of his tenure as C-in-C (Completer-in-Chief)

PrinceMajestic:
I agree he was foolish enough not to sack jega, but did he not have allies and henchmen in his government that adviced him to do so? Yes, but still he failed to do so because he was only a pussy sniffing drunkard. When the pressure to sack jega was too much on him, the pussy boy could only postpone election by 2 weeks. in 2019 We all saw what Buhari did to former CJN onnoghen then head of Judiciary arm of govt, heaven didn't fall. Then a president who could not sack ordinary chairman of electoral commission is just a complete failure that no reasonable person should make excuse for so nothing like skewed and lopsided govt structure caused him to lose. He lost because he was simply just a political weak novice opportuned to find himself in power

PrinceMajestic:
a complete dunce who is not supposed to ever have any thing to do with politics in the first place. All he was known for was crying in campaigns, a weak simp who is afraid of sacking ordinary Inec chairman, his priorities were ogogoro and women to the point obj raised alarm that his govt was being run by 3 women, 1 of the women his girlfriend diezani Alison madueke minister of the most exalted petroleum ministry one of Nigeria's most heartless deadly looter, he becomes an ex president running around Africa shamelessly and reporting to incumbent President Buhari while his mates ex HOSs and Presidents are relaxed in their residences receiving their retirement remuneration but your guy shamelessly turn himself to Buhari errand boy in guise of useless insignificant peace ambassador But I just dey wonder if we fit manage the guy if he come back.

Frigga13:

boyfrank:
Kai, IPOB and reasoning don't go hand in hand. Keep giving ur self false hope. Probably, that's the new one dished out from radio Biafra and ur other brainwashing medium. So the Fulani Jihadists should first declare war , after which what will happen? IPOB will then declare its own war? Ndi Uchu

signz:
Uzodinma will win with a Landslide if people are scared of coming out to vote because of No Referendum, No Election. If Buhari signs electoral Act into Law, Uzodinma will covertly lead the campaign for No Election In Biafra Land, then his thugs can release some shots in the air everywhere in Imo shouting No Referendum No Election. He may even bribe the controllers of Radio Biafra sef, make them an offer they can't refuse

ufotunang:
Simple dialogue between the federal government and IPOB would had solved all this problems .. when two elephants fight it's the common man that will suffer

boyfrank:
Funny guys .
Did Russia declare war on Ukraine before invading? U guys are too emotional and naive

boyfrank:
and u have sense! In case u don't know, this is war, and it ain't pretty. How else did u clowns think a third world country like Nigeria fights if not by pummelling innocent civilians. We witnessed it during the civil war but somehow MNK managed to convince u clowns that we should try it again. Tufiakwa.
When he started his blabbing he claimed he will get Biafra by peaceful ways, he armed ESN and u clowns were still too brainwashed to see.
I sincerely hope u live in the east because I've noticed most of u online warriors don't even in kn the east. How did u think this will end, an IPOB victory?

BKayy:
Cowards.

That's all they can do. They only have power when they meet unarmed old men and women.

And one wonders why their nemesis keeps getting support from the masses. answer me this question, if you are from this place that the Nigerian terrorists set ablaze, won't you celebrate when evil befalls them?

This question explains to you why they will keep on losing in Igboland. They are the ones that do the PR for IPOB not radio Biafra. IPOB brings out a theory and Nigerian terrorist Police show it to us in practical. They show the wickedness in real life.

richiemcgold:
one fact I've come to realized is that Nigerian political space since 1999 is dominated by lawyers. After military men, lawyers have been the biggest beneficiaries of political leadership in Nigeria's history - - a profession of trained liars and deceptive men who always hide under the guise of advocates. Could that be the reason we are not yet getting it right politically?
Let's not forget that our first generation of political leaders during the pre-independence and post-independence era were mostly teachers and they did so well.
