The police in Lagos have confirmed the arrest of a middle-aged man found in possession of a fresh head of a woman and her two hands at Muwo area of Badagry.
An eyewitness, Mr Solomon Adube, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Badagry that the suspect was seen carrying a sack with blood dripping from it.
“The man was seen carrying a bag with blood dripping from it but when he was asked what was in the bag, he claimed it was bush meat, saying he had just finished hunting.
“The people insisted on seeing the bush meat but he didn’t oblige, so we suspected foul play and the bag was taken from him.
“Upon searching the bag, a head and two hands of a lady were found there. That was how the people descended on him,” Adube said.
“The timely intervention of policemen from the Area K Command, Morogbo, saved the suspect from being lynched by an angry mob,” Mr Deji Sebonji, another eyewitness told NAN.
Lagos State police spokesman, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, told NAN that investigation was underway to ascertain the identity of the victim.
He added that the matter would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti for further investigation.
