Nemesis however caught the gravediggers, when the bereaved came back to the cemetery a few hours after they left to make arrangements towards cementing the grave.

A family member of the deceased said, “It was when we caught them in the act that we started beating them and we discovered that they were in possession of other human heads.

“We immediately contacted men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) who came to pick them up.”

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Ondo State Police Command, ASP Tee-Leo Ikoro said, “the ongoing investigation will reveal everything, particularly other members of the gang.

“From what we have found out, it shows that it’s not their first time. It’s something they have been doing, it’s a routine thing.

“Like we always hear, very many days for the thief, one day for the owner. I think this time, their cup is full,” Ikoro stated.
