A 48-year-old herbalist identified as Ibukun Moses, has been arrested by the police from Zone 2 Command while attempting to sell human parts.
The body parts allegedly belong to a lady identified as Toyin who was brought to the herbalist for treatment but died of an undisclosed illness.
Immediately after her death, investigation revealed that the herbalist contacted her family to come and take her for burial. The family then agreed to bury her in a cemetery which the herbalist took them to.
