Franklin Akinyosuyi, a 26-year-old individual under suspicion of engaging in ritualistic activities, has provided insight into his daily practice of bathing with a human head.

Akinyosuyi disclosed that he acquired the human skull and various other body parts from an herbalist located in Osun state.

The accused, who was publicly displayed along with other alleged criminals by the Ondo state police command over the weekend, shared during an interview that he followed the instructions of the herbalist to enhance his struggling photography and boutique businesses. These enterprises were reportedly undergoing significant challenges.

According to him ” I am a photographer and I own a boutique as well. It was last year that my uncle took me to a herbalist.

“I explained to him that my business wasn’t moving well, so he asked me to pay N200,000 to make concoction for me which I paid within three weeks.

“After he was done, he called me to come pick it and that was last year November. He directed that I should be bathing with the human head every Thursday at exactly 1am.

” I used it for a month but didn’t see any difference in my business. So, I had to call the herbalist and told him to refund my money.

“I also asked him to come and pick the human head as well but he refused to come and pick it, but he had started refunding my money because he already sent me N20,000.

” So, on that faithful day, I decided to go and throw it away, so I dropped it at my backyard. Unfortunately, I went out and before I could return, my landlord’s children saw it, informed their father and they ultimately called the police.

“After we were arrested, the herbalist claimed that he paid someone to get the human head”, the suspect said.
