Lagos police nab three over possession of human parts
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos Police Command are interrogating three suspects for allegedly being in possession of suspected human tongues in Lagos.
The command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this in a post he shared on his X handle @ benHundeyin on Tuesday.
Mr Hundeyin said two of the suspects (names withheld) were apprehended on October 15 with human parts in a taxi during a routine stop-and-search on Otedola bridge.
“Further investigations led the operatives to the apprehension of the third suspect from whom the parts were bought in Oyingbo Market, Lagos,” the police spokesman said.
According to him, the investigation is ongoing at the command headquarters.
He said the suspects would be arraigned if found culpable.
