Wasiu and Mutairu Shittu were arrested arrested by policemen in Saki town, Oke Ogun area of Oyo State after they were found in possession of a fresh human head and other body parts of a female victim identified simply as Mujidat.

Following the receipt of operational and intelligence assets of the Oyo State Police Command attached to Saki Divisional Police Headquarters immediately swung into action which resulted in the arrest of the duo, the recovery of the fresh human head and the dismembered body of the victim.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was lured from Lagos through a phone call by one of the suspects, particularly Ismaila Wasiu, before the perpetration of the dastardly act.
The dismembered body has been deposited at the morgue, while intensive investigation regarding the incident continues.
