A suspect, Franklin Akinyosuyi, has confessed to bathing with human skull in his apartment in the Eleworo area of Ondo Town, Ondo State on the direction of a herbalist.
Akinyosuyi, 26, made the confession while speaking with journalists at the Ondo State Police Command headquarters in Akure, where he was paraded alongside other suspects, on Saturday.
The police had said that the suspect’s landlord reported him at a police station last week for having a skull in his apartment.
Speaking with journalists, the photographer and boutique owner said a herbalist directed him to be bathing with the skull at 1 am every Thursday to boost his business.
“I am a photographer and I own a boutique as well. It was last year that my uncle took me to an herbalist. I explained to him that my business wasn’t moving well, so he asked me to pay N200,000 to make a concoction for me which I paid within three weeks.
“After he was done, he called me to come to pick it and that was last year November. He directed that I should be bathing with the human skull every Thursday at exactly 1am. I used it for a month but didn’t see any difference in my business. So, I had to call the herbalist and told him to refund my money.
“I also asked him to come and pick up the human skull as well but he refused to come and pick it up, but he had started refunding my money because he already sent me N20,000.
“On that fateful day, I decided to go and throw it away, so I dropped it in my backyard. Unfortunately, I went out and before I could return, my landlord’s children saw it, informed their father and they invited the police. After we were arrested, the herbalist claimed that he paid someone to get the human head.”
