An Islamic cleric, identified as Abdulfatai Kayode, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for being in possession of suspected human parts.

Female private parts, a kidney, intestines, a heart, lap, and other human parts, were allegedly recovered from his apartment located at No 4, Okedumola Street, Alakuko area of Lagos state.

Punch reports that Kayode was arrested on Tuesday by a team of security operatives led by the Lagos  state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi.

The suspect said the parts were given to him by a herbalist identified simply as Sadiq for safekeeping.

He said, “Sadiq aka Ifa gave them to me. We intended to use them for money rituals for a client. A man brought the parts to Ifa too. I don’t know where the person lives. I have been an Alfa for 10 years, but I have never prepared any money ritual with human parts before. This is my first time.”

The operatives later stormed Sadiq’s residence on Amje Igbeleyi Street, Alakuko, but he was not at home. However, Naija News learnt that Sadiq was arrested later in the day.

Imohimi praised effective community policing which he said led to the discovery and arrest.

“The recovered human parts, which included female private parts, heart, kidney and lap, were stored in a container mixed with liquid substance,” he added.
