The Ogun State Police Command has arrested two men in connection with the unlawful possession of three human skulls in the Ijebu area of the state.

The suspects are Kadir Owolabi and Jamiu Yisa, 53.

Owolabi was arrested on Monday, August 11, 2025, at about 2:00 p.m. by a team of Mobile Police Officers from 71 PMF Awa Ijebu, who were conducting a routine stop-and-search operation along the Ijebu Ode–Ibadan Expressway at Refugees Camp Junction, Oru Ijebu.

Confirming the incident in a statement yesterday, the spokesperson for the command, CSP Omolola Odutola, said that during the exercise, officers intercepted Owolabi, who was riding a motorcycle.

A search of his luggage led to the shocking discovery of three human skulls.

“Preliminary investigation subsequently led to the arrest of another suspect, Jamiu Yisa, 53, behind the Ijebu Ode Local Council Secretariat.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Dr Lanre Ogunlowo, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to take over the case for discreet investigations.

“He reiterated the command’s commitment to decisive action against crime and urged residents to cooperate with the Ogun State Command.

“He assured members of the public of trust, confidentiality and identity protection,” Odutola said.
