A 38 year old man has been arrested with a fresh human head around the White Sands area of Lagos.
Eagle eyed policemen of the Anti-Robbery squad attached to Orile division sighted the suspect, Mustapha Bakare looking suspicious whilst carrying a polythene bag. The suspect refused to stop after being asked to halt for a stop and search.
He instead reportedly took to his heels, clutching firmly to the polythene bag, which sparked more curiousity from the police.
The police chased and apprehended him, discovering the gruesome content of the bag in the process.
Police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide said, “The Police team that arrested the suspect was led by Inspector Bernard Oyinlade while they were conducting a stop-and-search operation near White Sands area of Orile.
