The Oyo State Commandant of Amotekun Corps Col Olayinka Olayanju,has said that certain personalities have been pressurizing him to release a suspected human parts dealer,Mutiu Abdul-Rasheed,who was arrested by his officials in Ibadan.
The suspect was investigated for some months before he was nabbed,he said
Olayanju,who said this at a news conference while parading the suspect, did not disclose the names of those pressurizing him to release the human parts dealer.
He said:” Ironically, calls have been coming in and individuals have been pressing for his release.”
He said fresh hands of some persons and other dismembered body parts were parts of the exhibits recovered from him.
Other items also recovered from the suspect included guns, charms, decaying body parts, motorcycle and a car.
Abdul-Rasheed, who hails from Ede in Osun State, said he belongs to a team that has been involved in getting fresh human parts for some people and at the same time exhuming dead bodies of people that they knew their names and parents’ names before their demise. But other members of the gang were said to be at large.
He added:”We only exhume bodies that are known to us because we must know the dead person when he or she was alive. We must also know his or her name as well as the mother’s name. Knowing the mother’s name of the dead person that we want to sell the body parts attracts extra cost from those that buy the human parts from us. He added.
