skull which was to be used for the treatment of
mentally ill patients. Dipo said he got the skull at
Cotonou, Benin Republic for N12,500.
"Baba Isegun told me to bring a human skull
for him to buy. He said he uses it to treat
sicknesses such as madness. I work as a
farmer in Atan Ota area. It was a friend
who introduced me to Baba Isegun that I
could help him get human parts. I have to go
to Cotonou to buy the head. I wanted to sell
it to him for N20, 000. But police arrested
me before I got to him.” he said
Confirming their arrested, the Lagos state Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said
the suspects will soon be charged to court. He said
that Baba Isegun took ill while in police custody
and has been released on health grounds but will
return to stand trial when he becomes medically
fit.
