Man Confesses Skull Bath

Franklin Akinyosuyi, a 26-year-old man from Ondo town, Ondo State, was apprehended in possession of a human skull in his apartment. He admitted to using the skull for bathing over the course of a month.

The individual, identified as a photographer and boutique owner, disclosed during an interview with journalists at the state police headquarters in Akure that a herbalist advised him to engage in skull-bathing sessions at 1 am every Thursday to improve his business.

Akinyosuyi was arrested following his landlord’s report to the police, who found a human skull in his apartment located in the Eleworo area of the community last week.

In his confession, Akinyosuyi stated, “I am a photographer and I also own a boutique. Last year, my uncle introduced me to an herbalist because my business was struggling. The herbalist asked me for N200,000 for a concoction, which I paid in three weeks. He gave me the skull in November last year and instructed me to bathe with it every Thursday at 1 am. I did this for a month but didn’t see any improvement in my business, so I asked for a refund. I also requested him to retrieve the skull, but he refused, though he started refunding my money, sending me N20,000. On that particular day, I decided to discard the skull in my backyard. Unfortunately, I went out, and by the time I returned, my landlord’s children had seen it, informed their father, and the police were involved. The herbalist later claimed he had paid someone to obtain the human head.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, announced that there were five individuals allegedly involved in the incident. She reported that three suspects have been apprehended, while two remain fugitive.

“Further questioning and investigation led to the arrest of an evangelist named Oyegoke Dare, who provided the skull and other ritualistic materials to the initial suspect. Additionally, Oyelade Sarafa, an herbalist, was also apprehended. Sarafa confessed to assisting in acquiring the skull from Asekun, a vigilante in Ikirun. Two other individuals linked to the case are currently evading capture,” she stated while presenting the suspects.
