Police believe the suspects are involved in kidnapping, murder, ritual killings and exhuming dead bodies where after they remove vital body parts such as the skull, genital organs, eyes, human hair and bones and sell for rituals and spiritual powers to unnamed personalities in the West African country.

It is alleged 31 human heads have been sold to some prominent
