A house owned by an octogenarian socialite (name withheld due to ongoing police investigations) in Ilorin, Kwara state has earned the alias House of Horror following the discovery of decomposed human parts.
The abandoned building complex, built on about four plots of land is located along Lagos-Ilorin Expressway, and suspected to be hideout for human parts dealers and other criminals.
Some of the items allegedly recovered from the six buildings of about 18 flats, said to be owned by an 85-year-old socialite, include decomposed human bodies, a headless body and other human parts, snail shells, a piece of cloth suspected to have been used in strangling victims, bra, NYSC cap, shoes, clothes, eye glasses, handset cover and pairs of sandals.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin yesterday, the state Police Commissioner, Mr. Ambrose Aisabor, said the command’s special undercover agents, acting on, “highly potent intelligence,” and information from members of the public, uncovered the hideout on Saturday.
The police boss said the aged socialite, who allegedly owns the building was being interrogated, adding that no arrest had been made so far.
