The Nigeria Police Force has apprehended an Islamic cleric named Oluwafemi Idris, who was discovered with a gruesome collection of human parts in Ondo State.
Authorities, acting on a tip-off, conducted a raid at Idris’s residence in the Akoko area, unearthing a chilling assortment: severed human hands, three kidneys, three hearts, a spine, and even a tongue.
A source close to the investigation revealed, “During the search of his home in Akoko, we found a horrifying cache of human remains. The suspect claimed to be an Islamic cleric and alleged that some of these body parts were supplied by a friend of his, an Alhaji who is also a cleric, along with one Samuel Kutelu. His criminal network extended to a man named Babatunde Kayode, an Oluawo, from whom he reportedly obtained three human heads.”
In a shocking twist, both Oluawo and Babatunde Kayode have since been arrested, plunging deeper into a dark web of human trafficking and ritualistic murder.
Just last October, four individuals confessed to engaging in the macabre trade of human body parts for money rituals. A distressing video shared by Instagram user Temilolasobola captured their chilling confessions, detailing not just their crimes but the unsettling motivations behind them.
One man spoke of purchasing a human head for a grim sum of N20,000, explaining, “I bought it for a mercy charm, to unlock doors to prosperity. This was my first time; I was led to Mansuru, who hasn’t been caught yet.”
Another self-identified body part trader, Monsuru Tajudeen, elaborated on the sordid dealings: “I sold it to him. It’s true. We killed the man and sold his head to Alfa. The first victim was a woman; they were both strangled. The person who brought him to us is Lukman.”
When pressed about the reason behind the brutal murder, Lukman could only utter the chilling words, “He did nothing. They told me to bring him for farm work. I had known him for three years.”
This harrowing case exposes the depths of depravity in human trafficking and the unraveling of lives linked to these unspeakable acts.
