A 30-year-old suspected human parts trafficker, Lanre Akintola has confessed to how he received N5000 after delivering human parts to one of his clients in Ondo State.

The suspects were said to be operating in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.
They were nabbed following their alleged involvement in exhuming corpses from a cemetery belonging to a church in Ondo town and selling the severed human bodies.
Akintola said it was Adesanoye, who worked as an attendant at Okuudu Cemetery that gave him the fresh male human parts to deliver to one herbalist at Ifetedo along Pele area of the town.
