The Police in Osun have arrested one Moshood Anifanikun, a resident of Gbongan Community, who was found in possession of a human head.
The suspect was arrested after men of the Security Joint Task Force raided his residence.
One of his neighbours said the odour from his house made residents to alert the police.
He said when the policemen searched his house, they discovered the decaying and rotten human head.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “We don’t know where Moshood got the human head. We just perceived the odour and asked his wife that what was smelling in their house.”
“When Moshood realised that we were suspecting him, he took the bag out of the room and kept it at the backyard. That was where the policemen retrieved it,” he said.
The suspect said he extracted the human head from a grave.
Police Public Relations Officer for Osun State Police Command, Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident, saying the matter would be investigated and that the suspect would be prosecuted.
