A Magistrate’s Court in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, remanded a farmer, Ibrahim Hamza, 41, for allegedly dealing in human parts.
The suspect was ordered to remain in custody by Magistrate Afusat Alege of the Kwara State Magistrate Court.
According to a police first information report, Hamza was accused of using commercial vehicles and courier services to transport human organs from Lagos State to Kwara.
“Hamza reportedly carried a human skull in a carton with his name and number written on it from Lagos State and is expected to be delivered at Balogun Fulani motor park before being apprehended by the police.”
According to reports, during police discreet investigation, Hamzat confessed to having received broken pieces of human skull from one Awal who resides in Lagos in a package sent through a bus.
He further confessed that the same Awal sent him a human skull which he used for money ritual and to boost his farm proceeds.
Hamza allegedly used N87,000 to acquire the human skull, horse head, and the head of a chimpanzee, which he confessed to have combined to make the money ritual charms.
