The two suspects were identified as Nodji Kodji and Raji Silver in Garware village of Fufore Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that both suspects were arrested on October 11, 2022 and hailed from Cholli, a community in the Cameroon Republic at Garware village.

Both suspects admitted that they got the skulls and bones from a grave yard in Cameroon and wanted to sell them to Dauda at the sum of 5 million CFA Francs.
