Lagos State Govt. staff nabbed with 3 human skulls in Kwara

State commissioner, Mr, Ado Lawan, confirmed this while parading the suspect alongside other criminals.

Ajenifuja who works as a sweeper with the Lagos State Government was apprehended on Monday, March 26, 2018.

He reportedly embarked on a journey to Ilorin in order to meet with an Alfa believed to have the power to make him rich.

His journey was soon cut short following a search by highway security operatives.

“I am a tailor, but I also work with the Lagos State Government as a street sweeper from 11pm to 2am.

"While I was working one night, I saw a bag containing these things (the skulls). I initially wanted to drop the bag, but someone told me that the skulls could be used for some things.

“I contacted one of the boys that we usually talk together, named Saheed, and he gave me the Alfa’s phone number. When I called the Alfa, he told me to come to Ilorin. I have never been to Ilorin before, but he asked me to alight at a particular place where he would come to pick me.

“He had earlier asked me what I wanted to do with the items and I told him that I wanted what would bring more people to my shop," the suspect aged 32 told newsmen.
