“We have kidnapped three female students, we killed them, removed their left breast and left arm and we sold them for N15million, N5million for a pair of left breast and left arm.
“We have somebody that sent us. He is Shile, he is the leader of the group that collected the body parts from us. But he has not paid us for this last service we rendered,†he confessed.
Parading the suspects, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gbenga Adeyanju, said the suspects would be charged to court very soon.
