“I told him that I didn’t know how to get the human parts and he promised to get them for me, he later brought the human parts to me at Amuloko where we met early in the morning and I kept them in my office where I use to attend to people who need spiritual assistance.”
“The police came to search my office on the day Waheed gave me the fresh head and two hands.”
The suspect said that the person who gave him the human parts is now at large.
