The Person above me just asked a reasonable question cos I honestly don't think the Court have any tangible case against him.....We need to know the constitutional stand on Traditional Cases....

Let's leave religion out of this and think as a logical human being
I am not supporting the herbalist but if you go for oyibo lab you will see a lot of skulls

Does the law permit people to be in possession of human skulls?.

I don't think havind an Old skull is a crime.. Its may be 200yrs old it may be fresh but honestly have they done forensic to accertain its age

The guy is right. In as much as i dont want to support evil, those skulls might be gotten during one of those inter-village wars pervalent in cross river state. I ve seen men drink palmwine with human skulls during festivals in broad day light. Infact, the number of skull one have is used to judge ya superiority.

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

He claims that his father gave him the skull. He could equally say that the skull had been in his family for generations. I wonder if the police really have a case against him?

There is a law against mishandling dead body or remains. Why are people who dig graves to take bones arrested?

Even though its a thousand yrs old, it's still not legal to be in possession of a human skull. Let's assume it was stolen, that's still a crime so he still has case to answer.

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.
They use it for study, what does an herbalist use human skull for??

You thought wrong. Being a traditional healer doesn't give you permission to be in possession of human skulls because you might actually be committing murder silently.

Yes, they do. He claimed something doesn't mean that the prosecutors and the judge will agree with him. No private citizen is allowed to be in possession of human skull, it's a crime on its own.

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.
