“After a police search of his house, they found two human legs and arms. We also found a human skull in a sack in his father’s house,” he said.

The police spokesperson stated that upon interrogation, Falowo said the human parts were that of a mad man whom he found sick in the forest

Odunlami added that Falowo told the police that he killed the man and took his parts in order to reduce his pains and suffering.

He said contrary to the suspect’s claim, a family member of the deceased told the police that he was a farmer, and was not sick.

The spokesperson stated that Falowo and his father who were currently in detention would be charged to court after the completion of an investigation.
