Oyo State Police Command has arrested two suspects allegedly linked with the roasting and eating of the flesh of police officers burnt during #EndSARS protest in Ibadan.
The command spokesman, SP Olugbenga Fadeyi, disclosed this on Saturday during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan.
The suspect identified, Oluwakemi Ashabi Adeyemo (340, a pregnant mother of a two-year-old boy, and her accomplice, Saheed Olalekan Oyebade (43) have been transferred to the Force Intelligence Bureau at the Force Headquarters in Abuja for further investigation.
Fadeyi said the 34-year-old woman was alleged to have eaten some body parts of one of the police victims, an allegation which she denied.
According to her, though it was true that she was at the scene, she was only given the body parts to keep by the second suspect, the 43-year-old man.
The 43-year-old suspect did not also deny being at the scene of the incident with other hoodlums, but disclosed that it was the woman who voluntarily took the body parts and only asked him for a towel or handkerchief to wrap them in.
The deceased policemen were deployed to contain the #EndSARS protest in October, which was hijacked by hoodlums, when they met their deaths, NAN reports.
KanyiDaily had also reported how a restaurant owner was arrested for selling to the public food prepared with water used in bathing corpses in Akwa Ibom.
