A pastor from the Christ Liberty Evangelism Church in Rosco, Iyana Iyesi, Ota, Oyenekan Oluwaseyi, along with three others, were apprehended in the Saje Area of Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
On Saturday, local authorities arrested Oluwaseyi, alongside Ibrahim Agbowewe (30), Suleiman Ogunbunmi (40), and Gafari Akinsanya (57), after discovering a human skull in their possession.
The suspects allegedly confessed to planning to use the skull for ceremonial purposes. Their suspicious behaviour and activities in the area had been reported by concerned public members, leading to the police's intervention.
During the operation, law enforcement officials also seized various items, including a large calabash, a black Toyota Camry car, and a ram, which were transported to the police station.
State Police Public Relations Officer SP Omolola Odutola confirmed the arrests and the suspects' confessions. She stated, "We arrested the four of them. They have confessed they wanted to use the head for blessings and money rituals. The investigations are ongoing to unravel more details about the incident."
