How we caught human skull traders – Police
She looked innocent when she was paraded among 44 suspected criminals said to have been terrorizing the people of Ondo State.
Adenike Adeniyi, a 42-year-old mother of four, was arrested and paraded for allegedly receiving stolen properties in Ondo town.
Meanwhile, in an interview with newsmen after she was paraded, Adenike denied she was a receiver of stolen goods.
Adenike said she was arrested for an offence she never committed.
In a related development, the police in Ondo State narrated how two suspects allegedly trading in human skulls were arrested.
Two other suspects, Ilesanmi Adeyemi, 29, and Muideen Alabi, 30, insisted Adenike was a receiver of stolen goods.
The crackdown on criminals has been the determination of the Isaac Eke-led Ondo State Police Command.
The crackdown also led to the arrest of two alleged ritualists with a human skull along Ibillo/ Isua expressway in Akoko South East council area of Ondo State.
Only last week, the senator representing Ondo South, Boluwaji Kunlere, donated 13 police patrol vehicles to the state command to fight crime in his district.
Kunlere said the spate of crimes in the southern area of the state was alarming, prompting him to donate the police vehicles to fight the menace.
Parading the 44 suspected criminals, the state commissioner, Isaac Eke, said they include 32 suspected cult members, six suspected armed robbers, four suspected burglars and two suspects in possession of human heads.
Of interest was the innocent look of the alleged receiver of stolen goods.
While the two other suspects allegedly confessed they committed the crime and mentioned other members of the gang, the receiver kept shouting she knew nothing about it.
The police commissioner alleged that the suspects burgled the house of one Bukola Ayodeji of Lawyer Yinka Valentino area in Ondo town.
The victim was quoted as saying the suspects stole foodstuff and other properties.
Following the complaint, detectives swung into action and the suspects were arrested and a Bajaj motorcycle marked LSR 608 QB was allegedly recovered from them.
Sunday Vanguard gathered learnt that the alleged receiver was picked up by the police after the confession of the two suspects.
Eke said that the suspects will soon be arraigned in court at the conclusion of investigation.
He pointed out that efforts were on top gear to arrest other alleged members of the gang.
On the suspected ritualists, the police boss said policemen attached to Isua Divisional Police Station in Akoko South East, while on stop and search along Ibilo/Isua expressway, intercepted them while on an unregistered motorcycle.
Eke said that the two men cleverly wrapped a human skull in a black polythene leather.
The suspects are Lukuman Sule of Ikiran, Edo State and Alaiye Sule.
Eke said the case was still under investigation.
They were said to be going to sell the skull which they reportedly exhumed from a burial ground when they were apprehended by the police patrol team.
Speaking on the 32 suspected cult members, the police commissioner said they were arrested in Akure, Ondo and Owo and have been responsible for terrorizing, stealing and rapping in the towns.
He pointed out that other members of the cult, including their armourer known as Lukman, were still at large.
