Men of Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service in Osun State have nabbed a 28-year-old herbalist, Ismail Adewuyi for being in possession of a head and intestine of a female corpse.
Investigations revealed that the middle age who was armed with charms, and other magical powers, stormed the Muslim cemetery located in the Oke-Yidi area in Ede in the early hours of Saturday, where he exhumed a corpse whose head was cut off and her intestines removed.
Nemesis, however, caught with him when members of Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service in the town intercepted him after leaving the graveyard where he had carried out the dastardly act.
It was learnt that the apprehended suspect, who confessed to having been a herbalist during interrogation by the hunters’ group, was said to have been recorded on video while being quizzed by his arresters.
After the arrest, the suspect was said to have been handed over to the state police command for further investigations.
Meanwhile, sources hinted that his criminal movement was suspected as he was shivering and uncomfortable before being nabbed on a fateful day.
Speaking on the development, Osun Police Command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, on Sunday evening, confirmed the arrest of the suspect and explained that, the criminal was arrested around 01:25 am, on Saturday, by a member of Nigeria hunters in Ede and brought to the station with unknown fresh female head and intestines.
She added that the suspect was arrested at about 1:00 am at Muslim Cemetery, Oke-Yidi, Abere Road, Ede and assured that the offender would be brought to book after investigations.
