Four teenagers have been arrested in Akwa Ibom, for allegedly trading human skulls.




The Akwa Ibom state Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), Delia Nwawe, said the 

suspects were arrested by officers of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on 

receiving an alert from vigilant youths in the area. The alleged leader of the group, 

Emmanuel Edet Ikot denied the accusation claiming that he only stumbled on a human skull 

while working at an uncompleted building for a man who had paid him to cut grasses. PAY 

 Emmanuel Ikot said:






 “I was paid to cut grass and clean up an uncompleted building by one 

man in Oron. As i was clearing the place i stumbled on a human skull. I then rushed to 

inform my friends of what I found and in the company of those my friends, we went to pick 

the human skull. After picking it, we decided to sell it, but we did not know of any possible 

buyer. So, it was suggested by one of us that we take it to a native doctor in Mbo. The four 

of us went together but on our way, we were held by the youth leader of Mbo. After the skull 

was found on me, he called the police to arrest us. That is why we are here. I have not sold human parts before.”
