“Further search was conducted in the tunnel on Wednesday, with more human parts in their decomposing states recovered. The search parties discovered that the tunnel had one of its ends linked to Mile-Two. 

“They saw a man coming from the Mile-Two end of the tunnel and apprehended him. He was found with a human heart. 

“He was lynched and burnt to death. They have been using that place for ritual purposes for six years,” Segun stated. Lagosians from different parts of the state have been thronging the scene since Wednesday to see the tunnel. 

Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumiyiwa Adejobi, condemned the suspect’s jungle justice. 

Though he confirmed that clothing was recovered inside the tunnel, he noted that no human part was found on the suspect rescued by the Police. 

Adejobi identified the suspect found in the tunnel, with the Lagos Police as Kayode Ojo, 50, from Akoko, Ondo State, without a fixed address. 

He said: “He was arrested at the scene and brought to us by 12.30 pm on Wednesday. They alleged he was a ritualist and was found with a human skull. But we did not see him in possession of any human parts. 

“In the process of making preliminary findings from him, reports reached us that another man found there was lynched and set ablaze. They said he was also found in possession of a human heart. 

“The suspect with us will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department to ascertain whether what was found with him are human parts. We are going to conduct a scientific investigation. 

“The command condemns jungle justice. We appeal to residents of the area to allow the police to investigate the matter. 

“Clothes were found in the tunnel. We are going to carry out a thorough investigation to ascertain the real account of the matter. 

“The Commissioner of Police has ordered the Area ‘C’ Commander to fortify security in the area,” Adejobi said.
