The Oyo State Police Command has announced the arrest of an Islamic cleric, identified only as Alfa Basiru, after he was found with items believed to be human flesh at the Ibadan Toll Gate end of the Lagos expressway.
During the operation, police also recovered a Toyota Camry car that had been abandoned by its owner, who reportedly fled the scene while officers carried out a search on the expressway.
The Command’s spokesperson, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the arrest and recovery of the vehicle via the official X handle of the Command on Thursday.
According to Osifeso, the cleric was nabbed during a stop and search exercise by the Federal Highway Patrol Team on an Ibadan bound Lagos bus with registration number XA 561 IRG at the Ibadan Toll Gate axis.
He further stated that the case has been transferred to the homicide section of the Criminal Investigation Department, Iyaganku, for thorough investigation.
