The Ogun State Police Command, through its SWAT unit, arrested 36-year-old Sunday Akintobi, a resident of the Itoku area in Abeokuta, on April 22, over suspicions of trafficking in human body parts.
Investigations by the police led to the arrest of two additional individuals identified as Oladimeji Olaniran (male, 40 years) and Isaiah Tijani (male, 38 years).
A statement from the command’s spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, says a search of their residences led to recovery of body parts believed to be human remains.
‘’Cerebral bones were also recovered from a location disguised as a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Kobape town and along Abiola Way in Abeokuta.”
Odutola mentioned that the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to conduct discreet investigation into the case to establish full involvement of the suspects in this heinous crime.
