Police in Osun have arrested three young men at the Osogbo/Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ife Campus Road, Ile-Ife, for being in possession of a human heart.
Police spokesperson in Osun, Yemisi Opalola, said two of the suspects are 21 years old, while the third suspect is 25 years of age.
“On April 7, at about 11:00 a.m., detectives on `Stop-and-Search’ duty accosted three men on a motorcycle on the Osogbo/OAU Ife Campus Road.
Mrs Opalola said rather than stop, they sped off, but the police team caught up with them.
“They were eventually arrested at Safejo Area of Ile-Ife, and a human heart, which they claimed belonged to one of their friends, and various charms were found on them,” she explained.
She stated that one of the suspects fell ill and eventually died in the hospital while investigation was still ongoing.
“As investigation was going on, one of the suspects took ill and died while on hospital admission. The corpse has been deposited at the state hospital for autopsy.
“The two other suspects will be charged in court upon conclusion of investigation,’’ Mrs Opalola stated.
