A 27 year old mortuary attendant, Seun Falana, has been arrested for allegedly exhuming a corpse from where it was buried, severing the skull and selling it to a herbalist, Olawale Shodolamu, for N10,000.
Seun Falana, Olawale Shodolamu and Dauda Tijani were all arrested by the police for the removal of a human skull from a cemetery for ritual purposes.
A statement issued by DSP Bala Elkana, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Lagos State on Sunday, said policemen from Area ‘E’ Command, Festac arrested the suspects.
He said that Tijani was intercepted at Alakija Bus stop along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway by the police, who found on him a black polythene bag containing a human skull.
The suspect confessed that he was sent by the herbalist, Shodolamu, to collect the skull from a cemetery’s attendant.
“The herbalist claimed that he bought the human skull from Falana at the sum of N10, 000 only.
The suspected herbalist usually grinds the human skull together with other substances to prepare herbs and charms for his customers,’’ Elkana said.
He said that the third suspect confessed that he had been digging graves in the past to remove human skulls and sell to herbalists.
