The Oyo State Police command has confirmed the arrest of 30-years-old Musiliu Taheed who was nabbed with a human head.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Adekunle Ajisebutu said, Taheed was apprpprehended by some community members who noticed his suspicious movement.
He said, “The police was called in to arrest him. As he was about to be driven to the station, hoodlums blocked the road, demanding that jungle justice be meted on the suspect. A reinforcement from the police saved the day as the hoodlums destroyed the police van and also attempted to burn the van down.”
In his confession, however, Taheed said he was meant to deliver the human head to intending money ritualists.
“I usually visit grave yards in the night and when I am sure no one must be passing by, I dig up corpses and cut their heads off,” the suspect, who is currently being investigated and detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, said, adding that it was his second time of engaging in such act.
