An evangelist, Oyegoke Dare and a photographer and boutique owner, Franklin Akinyosuyi, have been arrested after the latter was caught with human skull.
Oyelade Sarafa, a herbalist is also arrested in connection with the human skull found in Akinyosuyi’s possession in Ondo town, Ondo State where the incident happened.
The 26-year-old photographer-cum-boutique owner and the two others were paraded at the state police headquarters in Akure on Saturday while two other persons involved in the crime are at large.
Narrating to newsmen how he came about the skull, Akinyosuyi said, “I am a photographer and I own a boutique as well. It was last year that my uncle took me to an herbalist. I explained to him that my business wasn’t moving well, so he asked me to pay N200,000 to make a concoction for me which I paid within three weeks.
“After he was done, he called me to come to pick it and that was last year November. He directed that I should be bathing with the human skull every Thursday at exactly 1am. I used it for a month but didn’t see any difference in my business. So, I had to call the herbalist and told him to refund my money.
“I also asked him to come and pick up the human skull as well but he refused to come and pick it up, but he had started refunding my money because he already sent me N20,000.
“On that fateful day, I decided to go and throw it away, so I dropped it in my backyard. Unfortunately, I went out and before I could return, my landlord’s children saw it, informed their father and they invited the police. After we were arrested, the herbalist claimed that he paid someone to get the human head.”
