31-year-old palm oil dealer arrested with 8 human skulls

The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a 31-year-old suspect, Yusuf Adenoyin who was allegedly caught in possession of 8 dry human skulls.

It was gathered that the suspect was arrested on June 10, during a stop-&-search in Isua-Akoko in Akoko South West LGA of the state.

Speaking to newsmen when he was paraded at the State Police HQ, Adenoyin said the economic downturn pushed him to abandon his palm oil business & embrace the selling of human skulls when he noticed it was lucrative.

He explained how he met an herbalist on a social media platform who introduced him to the distribution of human skulls. He said he buys skulls from someone who sources the consignment from graveyards, while he distributes it to those who need it.

The suspect explained that he buys at the rate of N20,000 per skull, while he sells to his customers in Osun State between N30,000 & N35,000 each. He said the 8 skulls found in his possession by the police were dry & with a certain fresh flesh which he claims to be a dog’s heart.
