The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi identified the suspects as 32-year-old Monday Karezu, a citizen of Benin Republic, and 44-year-old Anagonou Kamelan, a Togolese, adding that they were nabbed on November 3.

With the information, the police detectives moved to the herbalist’s house, where the suspects were nabbed after two hours of laying ambush for them.
Karezu had lied to the police that he got the head from a place known as Ijale papa; “but investigation revealed the human h*ad with him was that of a woman who d*ed three months ago during childbirth,” the Ogun police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi told newsmen on Sunday, adding that the corpse was buried near the suspect’s house.
Oyeyemi said, “It was further discovered that the suspect had one time k*lled his nine-month-old daughter and used her he*d for the same purpose but did not succeed.”

This, Oyeyemi said, informed the exhuming of the corpse, whose head he cut off to the herbalist’s house.
