The Nigeria Police on Saturday revealed the discovery of fresh human parts hidden in the room of a couple in Ogun State. The Ogun State Police Command, accordingly, arrested the husband and wife whose home the police found the hidden fresh human parts.

The PPRO disclosed that the husband and wife were arrested after receiving intelligence report at Kemta Divisional Headquarters from the leader of the community, Moshood Ogunwolu.

“Upon the complaint, the Divisional Police Officer, Kemta Division, Chief Superintendent of Police Adeniyi Adekunle quickly led his detectives to the scene where the search was conducted.

“On searching the room, a plastic bowl containing fresh different human parts were discovered in the room, and the couple, promptly arrested.”
