LAGOS, Nigeria – Officials of the Nigerian Police (Zone 2 )have arrested a 48-year-old herbalist, identified as Ibukun Moses. According to Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, Moses was arrested while attempting to sell human parts.
He told the police that the body parts allegedly belong to a lady identified as Toyin whom he said was brought to him for treatment but died of an undisclosed illness.
“Immediately after her death, investigation revealed that the herbalist contacted her family to come and take her for burial. The family then agreed to bury her in a cemetery which the herbalist took them to”, the police said.
However, after the burial was concluded, the herbalist returned to the cemetery to exhume her corpse, cut off her head, the two hands and some other vital organs. Upon his arrest the suspect confessed to have done the act because he needed to sell the body parts to make money for himself.
Badmus said the AIG in charge of Zone 2, Lawal Shehu has directed the detectives to ensure proper prosecution.
