He said: “The command’s special undercover agents on June 28, 2014, at about 0700hrs while acting on a highly potent intelligence discovered some suspected to be hide-out for criminals dealing in human parts.
“When we visited the place, we discovered a bizarre scenario, among the items recovered is decomposed headless body, human feet, snail shell, clothes suspected to be used in strangulating their victims.
“I think that place is used as market where people who are involved in ritual activities buy human parts, investigation is still going.”

“The owner of the building has been known; she is an 85-year-old woman. We are interrogating her, may be as investigation progresses we are going to make some arrests.”
