The police in Ondo State have said they apprehended a man named Oluwafemi Idris, who said he is an Islamic cleric known as Alfa, and two others for supposedly having human parts.
The two other suspects, Oluawo and Babatunde Kayode, reportedly got three human heads from Idris.
As per the police, the suspects were held in the Ikare Akoko area of the state and allegedly kept the human parts in their house with the intention of using them for rituals.

“The mentioned Oluawo and Babatunde Kayode have been apprehended.”
