Ogun State Police have arrested two men in the Ijebu area after finding three human skulls in their possession.
The arrests were announced in a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola.
“On Monday, 11th August 2025, at about 1400hrs, a team of Mobile Police Officers from 71 PMF Awa Ijebu was conducting a routine stop-and-search operation along the Ijebu Ode/Ibadan Expressway at Refugees Camp Junction, Oru Ijebu.

During the exercise, the officers intercepted one Kadir Owolabi, ‘m’, who was riding a motorcycle. A search of his luggage led to the shocking discovery of three human skulls,” Odutola said.
Following the discovery, a preliminary investigation led to the arrest of a second suspect, 53-year-old Jamiu Yisa, who was found behind the Ijebu Ode Local Government Secretariat.
The Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has since directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to take over the case for a detailed investigation.
