Two men named Ganiyu Maruff and Bashiru Basit have been caught with two human skulls which they planned to use for money rituals.
It was the intervention of Atiba unit of the Amotekun Corps in Oyo Town, Oyo State, that saved the two suspect from being lynched by angry mob after they were been nabbed on Thursday.
The suspects were caught while they were trying to retrieve the skulls, hidden in a sack, from a bush in Agunpopo community where they had kept them.
One of the suspects, Maruf, said to have bought the skulls, meant to be used by him and Basit for money ritual, at the rate of N30,000.
The Informant247 learnt that Amotekun had noticed earlier through its surveillance team that some men would go into the bush and emerge with a cellophane bag and leave. This was said to have prompted the planting of some people there to keep watch.
Therefore, on Thursday morning, at about 6.30 a.m., the suspects were said to have arrived in the area and when queried by the residents, they could not give a convincing explanation about their presence there. It is believed that the bushy part was being used as a depot for human skulls where the merchants went to whenever a buyer needed one.
