The Ondo State Police Command says it has arrested an Islamic cleric, Oluwafemi Idris, for possessing human body parts.
In a statement signed by the spokesman for the Ondo Police Command, SP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said during a search conducted at his residence, the police discovered human hands, three kidneys, three hearts, a spine, and a tongue as Idris was arrested after the police received intelligence that he intended to use it for ritual purposes.
The statement said Idris claimed the human parts were supplied by another Islamic cleric simply identified as Alhaji and one Samuel Kutelu.
It said Idris, in turn, supplied one Babatunde Kayode with three human heads.
Odulami said Idris and Kayode had been arrested while efforts were on to arrest other fleeing clerics.
