Operatives of the Federal Highway Patrol have recovered a red cloth containing bones suspected to be human remains from a commercial vehicle on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Oyo State.
The Oyo State Police spokesperson, Adewale Osifeso, said the discovery was made during a routine stop-and-search near Guru Maharaji Village. The vehicle’s driver, Kazeem Ayegbo, who was travelling from Lagos to Osogbo, was arrested, and investigations are ongoing to determine the source and purpose of the items. He will be charged to court after investigations.
The police assured residents that the case is being handled professionally and urged the public to continue providing useful information to support security efforts.
Meanwhile, the command also confirmed a suspected murder at a construction site in the Iyana-Ajia area of Ibadan. A dispute between two casual workers reportedly escalated, leading to the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Raimi Ige by Lawal Ibrahim, 22, using a broken bottle. The suspect has been arrested, while the case has been transferred to the State CID, Homicide Section, for further investigation.
