Shocking Story : How I Bought Two Human Heads for N10,000 - Herbalist Makes Shocking Confession

The Suspects

Policemen from the Oyo State Police Command have
arrested t hree persons in possession of two human
skulls at a hideout in Ogbomoso.
Samuel Adegbuyi, t he state Commissioner of Police,
revealed that the arrest was made after the police
received information from members of the public, who
had raised the alarm that the suspects were dealing in
human parts.
According to The Punch, one of the skulls was
discovered to have had what looked like a deep machete
cut at its temple, leaving the police to suspect that the
person the head belonged to might have been
gruesomely killed.
Ramoni Akeem, 41, Azeez Ojelade, 36, and Salimon
Salami, 40, were the suspects arrested by the police.
Akeem said he paid N10, 000 for the skulls and that
Salami was the vendor.
Akeem said, “I am a herbalist and I heal people with
herbs. I have never used body parts for rituals. One day,
a friend came to me and said his friend discovered two
corpses on a land where he had wanted to cut trees. He
asked if I knew what body parts could be used for. I told
him that I did not know anything about charms prepared
with body parts.
“One of our friends, Saheed Ifa, who is a senior
herbalist, heard about it and said he could make use of
the skulls to prepare charms. When the skulls were
produced, the man who brought them demanded for
N10, 000. I paid him in four instalments. But that is all I
know about the skulls. Ifa has travelled to Lagos. I
don’t know where he lives in Lagos.”
Salami, who claimed to have discovered the corpses,
denied any wrongdoing.
He said, “I was asked to cut some trees on a large piece
of land but when I got there, I discovered two corpses
and I told a friend that I was afraid to work on the land
because someone killed two people there. He said I
should continue with my work while he looked for what
to do with the corpses. When he got a buyer, he
contacted me and I went back to the bush and
dismembered the heads from the bodies,” he said.
