A 54-year-old man identified as Adelani Oriyomi has been arrested at a tomb in Kere, Obada-Oko, in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State while allegedly exhuming a human skull.

In a statement made available to Newsmen in Abeokuta, Commander

of the State Community, Social Orientation, and Safety Corps, So-Safe Corps Dr Soji Ganzallo, said Oriyomi was arrested by the operatives of

the Corps at 2.35 am on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the officers who were on routine patrol observed the suspicious activity and spotted the suspect trying to hide.

When he noticed that the officers had left, Oriyomi resumed digging the tomb to retrieve a human skull and was apprehended.

On interrogation, he confessed that he was attempting to retrieve another skull to complete the number required for a money ritual preparation.

The Suspect also confessed that he had sold nearly ten skulls in the past and he was arrested for similar offences he committed at Ado-Odo which led to him being imprisoned for two years and a further six years and nine months at the Oba Correctional Center following another conviction in Obada-Oko.
