“When nobody was unable to explain what was smelling or where the odour was coming from, he gave the information to his landlord, Abu Abedo. The landlord later followed him to the house and asked everybody living in the house to bring out their loads to enable him to find out what was smelling.
“Everybody did and nothing was found except one Idris who was not present. One other person was sent to go and search for Idris and bring him. They went to look for him from where he was hiding and brought him to the house,” he said.
According to him, when Idris was asked to bring out his loads to find out what was smelling and he brought out a sack bag which was discovered to contain a burnt human head and two hands.
The CP said, when he was interrogated, he alleged that it was Ishaku whose son came to inform him that his father needed human parts and that they have seen one human body at Isua. He said that it was then that the suspect followed the boy, who is at large to cut the head and hands of their victim.
Other suspects paraded alongside Idris were four armed robbery suspects who invaded the house of Mr. and Mrs. Orogun Adebayo at their residence in Ifon, Ose Local Government Area of the state on 21 December 2019 and shot her husband.
The suspects also robbed the family of their valuables which included N25,000, mobile phones of different types and unspecified amounts of money from his car. Adie said the incident was reported at Ifon Police Station by the wife of the deceased, Mrs. Adejoke Orogun before the case was transferred to Special Anti-Robbery Squad for discreet investigation
