The Oyo State Police Command has arrested three men in Ibadan for allegedly possessing and selling suspected human parts.
The arrests followed a stop-and-search operation along Adekile in the Agugu area.
During the operation, a patrol team intercepted an unregistered Bajaj Boxer motorcycle.
The pillion rider, identified as Oyategbe Joseph, was found carrying a package containing what appeared to be human intestines.
Joseph confessed that he obtained the items from an unknown individual in Oritaperin and sold them to Alfa Onaolapo Taiwo, 46, and Pastor Ayodele Taiwo, 55.
