The Osun State Police Command is investigating a case of alleged conspiracy and unlawful possession of a human skull following the disturbance of a grave in a family compound. On June 15, 2026, a man visited the burial site of his late elder brother and found the grave tampered with and the skull missing. He reported the incident on June 17, 2026, at Oba-Ile Police Station at around 0830hrs.
Police launched an investigation and, acting on intelligence, arrested a suspect identified as Ogunsola Ojo, 40. During questioning, he allegedly named three others: Ayeloja Lattef, 40; Azeez Rasheed, 50; and Kunle Fatai, who remains at large. A search at Kunle Fatai's residence led to the discovery of the suspected human skull hidden in an uncompleted building next to his house.
The skull has been documented and entered into the police record as an exhibit. The police statement was issued on Friday in Osogbo by DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, the command's Police Public Relations Officer. Authorities are working to determine the full details of the case and to apprehend Kunle Fatai. Once the investigation concludes, the arrested suspects will be charged in court. The police reaffirmed their dedication to justice and public trust in law enforcement.
Ogunsola Ojo admitted to involvement only after arrest, yet named Kunle Fatai—who remains free—while the skull was found near Fatai's property, not Ojo's. The discovery at an uncompleted building adjacent to Fatai's house raises questions about his connection to the site. If Fatai is truly at large, it is unclear how police located the skull so precisely at his property. The case turns on whether evidence ties the suspects directly to the grave disturbance or to each other.
