Scores Of Human Skulls Found In Ibadan

Residents of Oyo State capital on Saturday evening
received with shock the discovery of an
underground dungeon where hundreds of human
skulls were found.
Most of the people who besieged the site, in Soka
area in Oluyole local government area of the state,
wept when a search party went to the underground
located in the state's capital and uncovered
several corpses of persons killed inside the
dungeon.
As at the time of filing this report, many of such
skulls were still being discovered. Apart from
hundreds of skulls, human body parts, including
decomposed ones, disused clothes, shoes,
pictures and voter cards were found at the scene.
It was gathered that the search party was combing
the area for nine missing people while 16 people
were rescued from the site.
It was gathered that about 20 decomposed bodies
were discovered, including about 18 males and
five females, looking skinny with chains on their
legs.
One of the women was said to have been delivered
of a baby early yesterday, but the infant was sold.
The woman was brought out of the bush; she had
stains of blood on her.
When asked to explain how she got to the place,
she uttered a few words and fainted. About nine of
them were lying on the ground, very weak and
unable to speak.
There were human skulls, bones and other parts
found in the bush.
It was a forest of death as there were also open
graves where bodies were dumped.
It was gathered that the bush was where human
parts were freely sold to people who often came to
the area at night.
A source informed that some Fulani herdsmen
were usually seen in the bush with their cattle.
One Akeem Isiaka (38) was arrested at the scene
and taken away by security agents to Sanyo police
station .
Inside the bush were the bodies dumped in some
open containers and some deep dry wells where
their captors dropped them.
In one of the buildings, an abandoned factory
where the captives were slaughtered and sold in
parts to clients was found.
There were clots of blood on the floor of the room
and a platform built by wooden plank. Some
mechanics around the area confirmed that many
high-profile people usually visited the area
especially in the night to patronise their clients.
When contacted, the Oyo State police command
spokesperson, Mrs Olabisi Clet-Ilobanafor, said
some arrests were made yesterday, but the prime
suspect was at large. She, however, declined to
mention the number of people arrested.
