four days after the discovery of mysterious forest where over 19 human skulls were found in Ibadan, another horror was discovered in the ancient city.
A
man, who feigned lunacy, was allegedly caught with human tongue, gun and
cutlass around the popular Ring Road area of the city.
According
to reports, residents of Ibadan rushed to catch a glimpse of the suspected
human eater. The suspect was, however, whisked away by armed policemen to avert
jungle justice.
Vanguard gathered that the
suspect caught with human tongues was arrested at Oni and Son Memorial Hospital
area of Ring Road.
According
to information, the ‘mad’ man was exposed when his hidden blackberry phone
rang. This was said to have aroused suspicion of passers-by who had all the
while known the man as a destitute.
Further
search on him, revealed that he listed
those owing him outstanding balance and the human parts they bought. That was
when the mob descended on him.
When Vanguard got
there, the police refused to comment saying the newsman should go to the police
headquarters at Eleyele, Ibadan for reaction.
The
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olabisi Ilobanafor, confirmed the arrest of
a man who was beaten by the mob but said he did not know anything about the
Adeoyo State Hospital incident.
She
said: “I can’t say whether he is a ritualist or destitute. I don’t know whether
things found on him were human tongues or not.
“It
is only a forensic expert who can say precisely what they are. We use this
opportunity to warn members of the public not to take laws into their hands by
resorting to jungle justice whenever they see a suspect.
“We
also want to advise parents not to allow their wards to mix up with mob to
break any law.
