He said, “My business has not been moving. When I complained to a friend, he directed me to Alfa who told me to get some human parts. Upon inquiry, I was told I could get fresh human parts at the cemetery.
“I went to Sabo cemetery along Igbogbo road, Ikorodu, dug a fresh grave and severed the needed parts which were the heart, two wrists, and flesh, from a male corpse.
”I was accosted by policemen while taking the body parts to the Alfa.”
The Commissioner of Police said that the suspect would be arraigned in court upon the completion of investigation.
