Consequently, the police raided the illicit sellers and recovered human parts, including kidneys, heads, intestines, livers, etc.

The police explained  that it launched an investigation, following a recent surge in cases of people disappearing without a trace in the state, adding that most of the parts recovered from the gang were fresh.

Those arrested included a grave digger, buyer, and a seller.

According to the human parts buyer, he has been in the business for the past four years and has bought human heads from the elderly woman for a little as N10,000 for spiritual purposes.

The grave digger explained that they got some of the heads by exhuming corpses from grave sites and beheading the corpse.

Another, a grave digger too, says all he does is dig grave for the gang for N3,000. He added that he is aware they sell human parts from the cemetery.

The elderly woman in the gang, who specialises in selling the parts, tried to deceive investigators that what they saw was regular beef and not human flesh, sliced off a piece of the human flesh and ate it.

However, she confessed to her crime while being paraded.

She said: “I’ve been selling for two years and I sold only 10 human heads. We shred the head into tiny pieces for herbalists.”
