Police officers in Lagos State have arrested three suspects in connection with the possession of human parts, specifically suspected tongues.
The operatives from the Rapid Response Squad intercepted the suspects who are Isah Amohullahi 30 and Abubakar Isah 32, respectively were arrested during a routine stop-and-search operation on the Otedola Bridge on October 15, 2024.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects on Tuesday, said the suspects were found with the body parts while in a taxi.
He said that further investigations led to the arrest of another individual, Gbolahan Temidayo, in Oyingbo Market, Lagos, from whom the tongues were allegedly purchased.
