OPERATIVES of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested two suspects for being in possession of suspected human tongues in Lagos.
The suspects, Isah Amohullahi ‘m’, aged 30, and Abubakar Isah ‘m’, aged 32, were arrested in a taxi on Tuesday, 15 October 2024, during a routine stop-and-search on Otedola Bridge.
Further investigations led the operatives to the arrest of another suspect, Gbolahan Temidayo ‘m’, in Oyingbo Market, Lagos from whom the parts were bought.
Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command said in a statement published on his X handle on Tuesday.
He said the two suspects led police operatives to Temidayo, who sold the human parts to them.
He said: “Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested two suspects for being in possession of suspected human tongues in Lagos.
