The informant said he went into the bush to ease himself when he saw the two men hiding what looked like human heads in a sack.

According to Oyeyemi, “Acting on the information, the Policemen went after the two men and subsequently got one of them arrested while the other one escaped”.

“It’s meant for money rituals,”

Upon interrogation before he was whisked away in the operatives’ van, Alex said, “We are merely errand boys. A herbalist sent us to get a human head for money rituals”.

He urged them to intensify the patrol in order to rid the area of criminals.
