The Lagos State Police Command arrested Gbolahan Temidayo, a suspected dealer in human parts in Oyingbo, one of the oldest and popular markets in the state.

The alleged human parts dealer was arrested after two suspects identified as Isah Amohullahi and Abubakar Isah were caught with human part during routine search by the police on Otedola bridge in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command said in a statement published on his X handle on Tuesday.

He said the two suspects led police operatives to Temidayo, who sold the human parts to them.

He said: “Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested two suspects for being in possession of suspected human tongues in Lagos.

“The suspects, Isah Amohullahi ‘m’ aged 30 and Abubakar Isah ‘m’ aged 32 were arrested in a taxi on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 during a routine stop-and-search on Otedola bridge.

“Further investigations led the operatives to the arrest of another suspect from whom the parts were bought, Gbolahan Temidayo ‘m’, in Oyingbo Market, Lagos”

Hundeyin added that investigation is ongoing at the Command headquarters, at the conclusion of which the suspects would be arraigned if found culpable.
