The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday arrested an Islamic cleric, Kayode Abdul-Fatai, in Alakuko area of the state for allegedly being in illegal possession of human parts including a female private organ.
Abdul-Fatai, who was arrested at No. 4, Okedumola Street, in Obadare area of Alakuko, was said to have also been caught with female heart and a female lap discovered in his room.
While confirming the arrest, Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, SP Chike Oti, said the cleric was arrested following a tip-off and investigation by officers in the command.
Oti said the suspect, during interrogation, revealed that the said human parts were given to him by an accomplice who has also been arrested.
According to Oti, the suspect and the accomplice would be charged to court at the end of investigation.
He said the Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, particularly urged members of the public to be conscious of the activities of people living in their vicinity, and report any suspicious movement to law enforcement agencies.
“The CP urges members of the public to embark on ‘Operation Know Your Neighbour’ because the Alfa was staying in a compound without his neighbours knowing what he does for a living,” Oti said.
