The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Wasiu Abiodun, disclosed this in a statement issued in Minna on Tuesday.
“On Dec. 1, at about 1800 hours, based on credible information received, Police Operatives attached to Gwada Division arrested one Buhari Ibrahim of Daza village, in possession of a human eye.
“During interrogation, the suspect claimed to be a herbalist and that one Bitrus Imoh of Geneko village, Kotonkarfe Local Government Area of Kogi State, gave him the human eye to use in preparing a charm for him.
