A 37-year-old Saheed Musiliu has been remanded in Agodi Prison, Ibadan.

The man was sent to prison by an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Monday for unlawful possession of a human skull after storming a graveyard to exhume a corpse.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Chief Magistrate Kehinde Durosaro ordered the remand as the defendant admitted committing the offence.

The defendant was charged with unlawful possession of human head and interfering with a corpse.

The prosecutor, Insp. Adewale Amos, asked for a short adjournment to enable him bring the exhibit to court.

Amos told the court that Musiliu on January 15, at about 1: 30a.m. at Onibuke zone 1, Aba Alfa area, Olomi, Ibadan, was found in possession of a human skull.

After exhuming the corpse, he cut off the head, but was caught in the act and handed over to the police, the prosecutor said.
