Abdulfatai Kayode, Alfa arrested with human heart and in private parts in Lagos. The Lagos State Police Command has arrested an acclaimed Islamic cleric, Abdulfatai Kayode, with suspected human parts on Okedumola Street, Alakuko area of the state. Female private parts, a kidney, intestines, a heart, lap, among other human parts, were allegedly found in his apartment.
Kayode was apprehended on Tuesday when the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, led operatives to the community.
The suspect said the parts were given to him by a herbalist identified simply as Sadiq for safekeeping.
He said, “Sadiq aka Ifa gave them to me. We intended to use them for money rituals for a client. A man brought the parts to Ifa too. I don’t know where the person lives. I have been an Alfa for 10 years, but I have never prepared any money ritual with human parts before. This is my first time.” Sadiq, who lives on Amje Igbeleyi Street, Alakuko, was not at home when the operatives visited his residence. It was learnt that Sadiq was arrested later in the day.
Imohimi attributed the arrests to effective community policing.
“The recovered human parts, which included female private parts, heart, kidney and lap, were stored in a container mixed with liquid substance,” he added.
