The police on Thursday raided a residence in Festac Town, who specialize in human parts and are suspected to be ritualist.

The police made the discovery when neighbors suspected some funny movements in the building and alerted them.
The police searched the entire building which is located at No. 6, B Close, Third Avenue Festac and discovered fresh human parts inside a bathtub.

According to the police several human parts such as fresh human head, hand, limbs, decomposing head and female breasts were also discovered.

The police arrested two occupants of the building, when interrogated by the police one of the occupants said the body found in the bath tub belonged to his younger brother who had be declared missing for a while now.

“I stay in that building but I don’t bath inside the bathroom because the bathtub is bad. The body found in the bathtub could be that of my brother. He was missing and I have not seen him for quite a long time”.

The police denied insinuations that about 100 human skulls were found in the hideout of the suspects, they however said that it was only parts belonging to a person that was found on the brothers.

Lagos state Police Public Relations Officer, , a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said she was aware of the incident, adding that she was waiting for the authentication of the story.

She said: “I have been called in respect of the incident but I cannot say of its 100 human skulls as is being bandied around. I am waiting for them to debrief me and then I can confirm it.”

The suspects are currently being held at the FESTAC Division pending the outcome of preliminary investigation which would then influence their transfer to the State Criminal and Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba.
