Five men arrested for exhuming corpses and selling their parts

Story culled from Punch
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested five men for allegedly exhuming corpses and selling their parts for ritual purposes.
According to police authorities, the suspects –, Jamiu Adeleke, Ajibade Rafiu, Fatai Akiwowo, Kazeem Sanni and Agboola Kolawole – had at different times sold human parts in Owode, Ogun State.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, said Adeleke was arrested by the police and through his confession, were able to apprehend the others.
She said, “On May 15, 2013, Adeleke was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad while he was trying to sell human hands for N21,000. Upon interrogation, he confessed that he bought the parts from Sanni at the cost of N6,000.

“Police arrested Sanni and he in turn confessed that the eight hands which he sold belonged to his siblings- his two brothers and sisters. He confessed that he went to their graves and cut off their heads. He confessed that he sold the heads for N8,000 each while he sold the hands for N4,000 each.
“Investigations led to the home of an herbalist, Rafiu, who is also the receiver. He uses the human parts for rituals. In his house, police recovered fresh hands which he claimed was meant for jobs for his customers. We also saw a bottle which he said was crushed human skull mixed in fluid. He said it was for power and he uses it to make medicine for people.”

Braide said investigations showed that prior to his arrest, the herbalist had hired some of the suspects to help him get a living human being at the cost of N40,000.
Braide added that Adeleke, who is an Islamic scholar, however, died while trying to escape from police custody.

The suspects, who did not deny the allegations, said they never killed anyone but only exhumed corpses from graveyards.

Kolawole said he went into the business because he needed money to pay his children’s school fees.
He said, “I am a farmer and I live in a graveyard in Owo, Ogun State. In December last year, I went to see my friend and begged him to lend me money to pay my children’s fees. He then said if I could help him to get human skulls, he would pay me N8,000 for each.
“He came to my house at night and after he had exhumed two of the corpses in the graveyards, he gave me N16,000.

“In May, 2013, I needed money to purchase examination form for my child and I went to meet him again. He said he would give me N16, 000 for two more skulls, so he exhumed two more corpses.”
A 25-year-old suspect, Sanni, who claimed to be a commercial motorcycle rider, said he had only exhumed two corpses, adding that he ran out of the business when his clients started demanding for a human being.

He said, “Akinowo told me to get two skulls for him and I did. He gave me N6,000 and N8,000. He later told me to get a live human being for him but when I could not find one, they started disturbing me with telephone calls.  I only sold two skulls.”
The herbalist, Rafiu, said he never exhumed any corpse rather, it was the other suspects that were always pestering him to buy body parts.

Rafiu, who claimed to be 28 years, said he did not use the corpses for money rituals but used it in preparing a potion which people drank for protection.
 “I never sent anyone to supply me human parts. They always bring the parts to my place and beg me to buy,” he said.

Asked what was in the bottle recovered from him, he said, “The bottle I am holding contains a burnt and crushed human skull and schnapps. Anybody who drinks it will be immune to all forms of attack. I have been doing this for about seven years now but I have never drunk the potion. I am even scared to use it.

“I have a wife and child and it is this job I use in sustaining myself.”
Another suspect, Akinowo, said poverty pushed him into the illegal business. Akinowo, who spoke amid tears, said he was paid N8,000 for each body part.
Akinowo said in his statement that he cut the heads of his late brothers and two sisters buried in private graves in his compound and sold them for N8,000 each.

Imagine the level of poverty that's driving this victims mad or are they just too lazy to work? if there is a price for human parts then the least price shouldn't be less than 10 million naira or more. How can someone claim a concoction is working when he has not even tried it. All I see around this victims is laziness and lack of respect for humanity. Vultures will visit their corpses stupid people.

The underlying story is that poverty is real in Nigeria!!

The rich is celebrating every weekend, the poor is resorting to desperate ways to come up with money.

buh thrs really no crime in exhuming human bodies an selling thr parts to make ends meet,since they are dead already an those remains are just waste,instead of delivering a human being.,and u saying he killed his sibblings,y wuld he kill them only to sell thr smelling parts wen he can hit it big delivering them alive.we thank God dat sm baba's now collect dead part hehehehe ,buh d money small shaa.

Yorubas are the most useless tribe in the country. Their illiterate men are ritualists why the ones that managed to go to secondary school are Fraudsters and scammers. Their girls are so useless and ugly with their stinking body odour oozing from their body. They are Nigerias problem

Haba enough of tribalistic comments na,you all should know any tribe or anybody is capable of committing any crime. There's no exceptional please.One love....Chichi

This is not a poverty issue. It's a issue of a lack of morals, decency and faith that things can get better wihtout you performing demonic acts to get them. Why didn't he go sell his body to the highest bidder then? Stop blaming every diabolical act on poverty. Poverty will push people to the brink yes, but this evil has nothing to do with poverty and everything to do with Satanism.

If he is telling the truth, what blessing will his child receive in school when the money to pay the fees has come in such a way? He is dooming his child by covering her with innocent blood, she will go on to find destruction in her every path without any knowledge why everyhting she does fail and amount to nothing.

Hey guys,

This is really discouraging. I'm not even Nigerian, I'm Black American...but recently I have been so close to my African side. I visit this blog and other African blogs. I was even planning to tour West Africa by September. But now, I think am gonna skip Nigeria from the list. I don't wanna get killed lol. And since I started reading this blog, I have discovered that its the Yorubas that have the highest crime rate in Africa. Thats bad mehn!

We got a lotta them here in New York, Godd they are so dubious as shit. You offer them a job to mow the lawn and the enter your house and they steal from you and attempt to rape your wife. Whites hate them, blacks hate them too. even Mexicans.

Fucking piece of shit. Later they be calling us Akatas.
