The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 21-year-old man, Samson Onilewaji, after he was allegedly found with suspected human remains, firearms, and stolen property during a stop-and-search operation along the Lekki–Epe Expressway.
According to police spokesperson Abimbola Adebisi, the suspect was intercepted while travelling in an unregistered commercial shuttle bus carrying six occupants.
A routine search of the vehicle reportedly led officers to uncover a disturbing cache of items, including a suspected human right hand, two locally made pistols, a live cartridge, two axes, a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, and five ATM cards.
“During a search of the vehicle and its occupants, the suspect, identified as Samson Onilewaji, ‘M’, aged 21 years, was found in possession of a suspected human right hand, two locally made pistols, one live cartridge, two axes, one POS terminal machine, and five ATM cards,” the command said in a statement released Friday, June 26.
Police say the suspect later confessed to recently robbing three individuals of their personal belongings, including the POS terminal and ATM cards recovered during the arrest.
Authorities added that efforts are ongoing to locate the victims in order to return their recovered items.
