Two men were on Friday in Ibadan
paraded by the police for possessing a decomposing human head. One of the men,
Seyi Akinola, was arrested in an ambush operation by the police while Ajitoni
Ogundeji was named by Akinola as his accomplice in the crime.
Ogundeji, who is a farmer and a
hunter, was alleged to have instructed Akinola to bring a human head to prepare
a charm that would protect him from gunshot.
Akinola, who is also a hunter, had
complained to Ogundeji that he experienced frequent robbery attacks on the road
whenever he travelled.
While on hunting expedition at night
about two weeks ago, Akinola allegedly saw the corpse of a dead mad woman
in a bush.
He later cut off the head and hid it
on a tree to decompose.
Ten days later, he returned to pick
the head at the place where he kept it but unknown to him, the community had
alerted the police after discovering the head on the tree. After walking into
the ambush, he was arrested and taken to the police station at Ojoo area of
Ibadan. During questioning, he told the police that Ogundeji told him to bring
the head to prepare anti-bullet charm. While speaking to journalists at the
station, Akinola confessed to the crime.
“I was caught with a human head by
the police on Friday morning. I travelled a lot when I was working as a shepherd
to a herd of cattle, but there are incidences of robbery attacks on the road. I
told Ogundeji about it and he said he could do a charm for me against gunshot
if I could get a human head.”
