An interrogation session was carried out by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Adegbite Omotayo, after which one of the suspects confessed that the skull was given to them by one Mr Michael Osanyinbi, adding that they were on their way to deliver it to the cleric when they were intercepted. The suspects later led the policemen to the house of the self-acclaimed cleric’s house

The cleric then testified to the fact that he actually requested for the skull which Micheal Osanyinbi promised to get for him at N25,000 with an additional N1,000 for the motorbike man, who will deliver it to him. He stated further that the skull is needed for a ritual.
