A Senior Magistrate Court in Ilorin has ordered that three men, charged with being in possession of a human skull, be remanded in a correctional centre.

The senior magistrate, Mr Abdulrahman Bello, remanded James Moses, Moses Wabbari and David Allah, in a Nigerian Correctional Service in Oke-Kura.

The police charged the defendants on Monday with two counts of criminal conspiracy and possession of human skull.

Bello adjourned the case until November 20 for further mention.

The prosecutor, Insp. Folorunsho Zacheous, told the court that on October 18, a patrol team attached to Operation Harmony, led by Sgt. Ogbeide Frank, on the Ajase-Ipo, Omu Aran road, intercepted a commercial vehicle heading to Ilorin.

He said during a random check of the vehicle, Moses was found to be in possession of a suspected dried human skull.

The prosecutor said investigation conducted led to the arrest of Wabbari and Allah.

Zacheous said the first defendant later confessed that Wabbari gave him the human skull to sell for N1 million, and they were heading to where they would get a buyer. (NAN)
