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

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
