Our correspondent gathered that the suspects were arrested following a report lodged at Kemta Divisional Police Headquarters by one chief Moshood Ogunwolu, the Baale of Leme Community.
The Baale complained to the police that one Pastor Adisa Olarewaju who is a co-tenant with the suspects informed him of offensive odour oozing out from the room of the suspects.
Police spokesman in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told newsmen that following the complaint, the DPO Kemta Division, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle quickly led his detectives to the scene where search was conducted and the couples arrested.
“On searching the room, a plastic bowl containing fresh different parts of human being was discovered in the room, and the couples were promptly arrested,” Oyeyemi said.
According to him, the suspects when interrogated, confessed they were herbalists and that the human parts comprised hands, breasts and other parts which they claimed were given to them by one Michael, now at large.
Oyeyemi said the state’s commissioner of police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered immediate transfer of the suspects to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation.
