An eyewitness, Isiaka Amosu, reported that the suspects admitted to collaborating with a cemetery attendant named Ismaila, who allegedly conspired with them to obtain body parts for illegal purposes.
Amosu noted that Ismaila had previously been involved in a similar incident six months ago, when he was caught by police with a human head and subsequently left the area for a time.
Following their arrest, the suspects were taken to the Isokoko Police Station, where law enforcement confirmed the incident.
A police officer, speaking anonymously, stated that the case would be transferred to the State Investigation Department for further inquiries. The officer emphasized the police’s commitment to apprehending criminals in Agege, aiming to ensure a safer community.
