When some workers of the place who had noticed young man, who simply identified himself as Kola, has been arrested by the police, in collaboration with local vigilante group, called "Onyabo", in Ikorodu on Saturday, October 6, 2012 for engaging in the digging out of corpses buried in Shagamu road cemetery and cutting off some parts of the dead that he considered useful for his evil purpose.
The suspect was arrested at the cemetery at the time he was operating on one of his victims at a grave, very close to the end of the cemetery previously that corpses buried in the place are suffering serious injuries from unknown person(s), who had always come to take or cut the heads of the dead or other human parts, decided to comb the whole cemetery around 5:00 am on that fateful day and Kola was eventually nabbed.
According to the suspect, the corpse's parts are sold in Mile 12. While human head costs N 20,000 (twenty thousand Naira), the hand costs N 5,000 (five thousand naira).
The suspect, who said he had engaged in this devilish act for about twenty (20) times, was later taken to Shagamu Road Police Station, Ikorodu, by police and Onyabo's leader, Chief Kamoru Bombata, for more investigation into the matter.
A source, who works in the cemetery, told Ikorodu News that this ugly situation had continued to happen in the cemetery for a long time. He said this prompted cemetery workers to make efforts in getting the suspect.
He confirmed that several times, they had met some graves in the cemetery in a very rough and scattered condition. The situation that confirmed that illegal operation had been carried out on the dead.
Meanwhile, residents are calling on Anipole to improve on the security in the cemetery, in order to avoid a recurrence. Residents also appealed to the local government to uplift the face of the cemetery by clearing the bush inside the cemetery and be supplying electricity, so that the place would not be dark again at night.
At the time of filing this report, we could not find out the real occupation of this young man estimated to be in his mid 20.
The policemen handling the investigation prevented our reporter from getting more facts from the suspect; it was not certain what the end uses of these human parts are to their buyers at Mile 12.
It was, however, amazing to know from Kola that he alone is involved in this evil act as he denied having accomplices.
