choice husbands and big contracts.The 43-year-old Olasunkanmi Owolabi, a native of Oyo town, also said that the concoction is also used as cure for stubborn sores, mental illness, sickle cell anaemia and epilepsy. He also said had planned to establish a specialist native hospital if government gave him the approval. He was arrested along side two co-travellers, Clement Omodijie and Usman Saliu a.k.a. Alfa.
Clement Omodijie,54-year-old and an indigene of Ekpoma, Edo
State, says he is married with three children. He said he is a grave digger at Gbogbo
Cemetery, Ikorodu, Lagos on a monthly salary of N22,000, and had worked at the
cemetery for five years before he was arrested by SARS operatives in Lagos. Saliu
a.k.a Alfa is 31-year-old a native doctor from Ilisa town in Osun State and
Owolabi’s ally, said he trained as an alfa (Islamic cleric) at Ralwu Islamic
School, Ikewu, Osun State where he claimed he spent nine years learning native
medicine. Owolabi who was arrested on
June 22 this year had requested a human head from Omodijie which he said he
wanted to use in preparing medicine for his patients. Omodijie exhumed a corpse
from one of the graves in the cemetery where he worked and detached the head
and on delivered the head to Owolabi. Mr Omodigie road came to an end when the
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, was said to have directed the
officer in charge of SARS, Superintendent Abba Kyari, to fish out the ritual
killers.
Kyari and his team swung into action and a call was put across
to Saliu that a human head was urgently needed to save the life of a wealthy
patient. Saliu asked the detectives to come to Ikorodu for the transaction and
was arrested as soon as he showed up at the agreed place. The human head he
came with was recovered and was put into a polythene bag as an exhibit.Confessing his role in the crime omodijie said, “i was
content with being a grave digger before i met owolabi in a restaurant in front
of the cemetery in gbogbo area of ikorodu. Since i met owolabi, my life has not
been the same again. I buy drugs as if it is food, making me to spend more
money than before. I have moved from one problem into another. I was enjoying
my n15,000 monthly salary as a grave digger before i met him and he lured me
into supplying human heads to him at N4,000 each. “The naked truth is that
there is nothing reasonable i have done with the N4, 000 per human head that he
has been paying me. i used it to drink gin or smoke cigarettes with it. it is
the devil’s money. “I hardly fell sick since i was born. But after selling
human heads to him, my health has been deteriorating.A police source said
the three has since been charged with unlawful possession of human parts.
