“I dig up most of the parts I sell from newly dug graves in cemeteries while I get others from corpses abandoned by the roadsides.”
Troops from the 81 Division Nigerian Army arrested a suspected human parts trafficker, Gani, in Kulanla Odomoola, Ogun State, on Saturday. The suspect confessed to a decade-long trade in body parts, revealing: “I dig up most parts from newly dug graves…others from roadside corpses.”Soldiers intervened to prevent his lynching by an enraged mob during a routine patrol.
Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Ayeni confirmed the arrest, stating troops “rescued the suspect from an angry mob.”The chilling confession has sparked community outrage, with residents demanding justice. Gani was reportedly en route to deliver body parts when apprehended, exposing a grim underground trade exploiting cemeteries and abandoned corpses in the region.
