“He confessed further that he also assisted the hoodlums to purchase foodstuffs such as rice, beans, millet and even alcohol of any kind, with cigarettes,” he stated further.

He said the suspect was arrested with some quantity of raw rice and beans, which he said he wanted to take to the kidnappers’ hideout in Gwalo forest before their arrest.

Similarly, he said based on a tip-off, police operatives attached to New-Bussa Division arrested one Abdulrahman Woru, aged 38 years of Gbesewona village of Benin Republic with human skull.

Abiodun said the suspect resides in Babana area of Borgu LGA of Niger State where he was arrested with a human skull, three pieces of suspected human ribs, two idols and a cash sum of 5000 CFA.

He said during interrogation, the suspect confessed that the human skull recovered belonged to him. He claimed that he migrated from Benin Republic to Nigeria about four years ago for his business, without any immigration document, and that he is a traditional medicine practitioner.

“He further claimed that he recently traveled to Benin Republic and while on his way coming back, before entering Nigeria, he saw a bag on the road, picked and checked, and discovered the skull,” the PPRO explained further.

“He said he tied it on his motorcycle and took it home, because he believed it would be useful for his work, and he did not report it to the police,” he added.
