skull which was to be used for the treatment of
mentally ill patients. Dipo said he got the skull at

for him to buy. He said he uses it to treat
sicknesses such as madness. I work as a
farmer in Atan Ota area. It was a friend who
introduced me to Baba Isegun that I could
help him get human parts. I have to go to
Cotonou to buy the head. I wanted to sell it
to him for N20, 000. But police arrested me
before I got to him.” he said
Confirming their arrested, the Lagos state Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said
the suspects will soon be charged to court. He
said that Baba Isegun took ill while in police
custody and has been released on health grounds
but will return to stand trial when he becomes
medically fit.
