Police in Osun have arrested three young men on the Osogbo\/Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ife Campus Road, Ile-Ife, for being in possession of a human heart.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson in Osun, SP Yemisi Opalola, said two of the suspects are 21 years old, while the third suspect is 25 years of age.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Osun Police Command, in its efforts to sanitise the state of incessant ritual killings<\/a> and other vices, has arrested three young men.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn April 7, at about 11a.m., detectives on `Stop-and-Search\u2019 duty accosted three men on a motorcycle on the Osogbo\/OAU Ife Campus<\/a> Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were flagged down, but rather than stop, they sped off and were pursued by the police<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were eventually arrested at Safejo Area of Ile-Ife, and a human heart, which they claimed belonged to one of their friends, and various charms were found on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs investigation was going on, one of the suspects took ill and died while on hospital admission. The corpse has been deposited at the state hospital for autopsy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two other suspects will be charged in court upon conclusion of investigation<\/a>,\u2019\u2019 Opalola stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
