The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Gafaru Rasaki for allegedly exhuming human remains from a cemetery in Sagamu and being found in possession of four human heads.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abeokuta.
According to Babaseyi, operatives of the Shakura Police Division in Sagamu arrested the suspect on January 21, 2026, during an operation in the area.
He said preliminary investigations revealed that Rasaki allegedly dug up the remains from a cemetery, an act the police described as a gross violation of the law and a clear disregard for the sanctity of the dead.
The police spokesperson added that the recovered exhibits had been secured as investigations continued.
Babaseyi said the suspect would be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
He reaffirmed the command’s commitment to public safety, warning that individuals involved in the desecration of corpses would be made to face the full weight of the law.
