Men caught with two human heads

Two men were on Friday in Ibadan
paraded by the police for possessing a
decomposing human head. One of the
men, Seyi Akinola, was arrested in an
ambush operation by the police while
Ajitoni Ogundeji was named by Akinola as
his accomplice in the crime.
Ogundeji, who is a farmer and a hunter,
was alleged to have instructed Akinola to
bring a human head to prepare a charm
that would protect him from gunshot.
Akinola, who is also a hunter, had
complained to Ogundeji that he
experienced frequent robbery attacks on
the road whenever he travelled.
While on hunting expedition at night
about two weeks ago, Akinola allegedly
saw the corpse of a dead mad woman in
a bush.
He later cut off the head and hid it on a
tree to decompose.
Ten days later, he returned to pick the
head at the place where he kept it but
unknown to him, the community had
alerted the police after discovering the
head on the tree. After walking into the
ambush, he was arrested and taken to the
police station at Ojoo area of Ibadan.
During questioning, he told the police
that Ogundeji told him to bring the head
to prepare anti-bullet charm. While
speaking to journalists at the station,
Akinola confessed to the crime.
“I was caught with a human head by the
police on Friday morning. I travelled a lot
when I was working as a shepherd to a
herd of cattle, but there are incidences of
robbery attacks on the road. I told
Ogundeji about it and he said he could
do a charm for me against gunshot if I
could get a human head.”
