An Islamic cleric identified as Alfa Bashiru has been arrested by the Police in Oyo State after being caught in possession of suspected human flesh.
Oyo Police Command spokesperson CSP Adewale Osifeso made the disclosure in post on X social media.
He said that the Federal Highway Patrol team intercepted a white bus with registration number XA 551 IRG, which the suspect allegedly boarded, at the Toll Gate axis of the Ibadan Expressway at 11:30 a.m., on Wednesday.
Oyefeso said that the suspect when quizzed claimed to have bought the suspected human flesh in Lagos.
The suspect, he said, had been transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, for further investigation.
“The suspected item is undergoing forensic analysis to determine its authenticity and source,” Osifeso said.
