The Kwara State Police Command has made significant strides in their investigation into the alarming disappearance of human heads and severed hands, leading to the arrest of four suspects. This unsettling incident has sparked widespread concern regarding the potential rise of ritualistic activities within the state, prompting authorities to take immediate action.
According to police sources, the suspects in the first case revealed that a local herbalist was allegedly involved as the buyer of the missing heads. This revelation has intensified scrutiny on the operations of herbalists in the area, as the police seek to uncover the extent of their involvement in illicit practices.
In a related case, the suspects indicated that the body parts were intended for use in money-making rituals.

The Kwara State Police are now urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. They have emphasized the importance of community cooperation in combating such crimes, which not only threaten public safety but also tarnish the image of the region.
