MICHAEL AKINOLA

 A clergyman, Prophet Gabriel Josaya, a.k.a Eli-Wakuku, has been arrested and sentenced to four years imprisonment by the Court for dealing in human parts for several years before he was caught.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Josaya, who is the Prophet and founder of St. Moses Orimolade Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ilorin, Kwara State, was convicted after a long trial and sentenced with no option of fine by Chief Magistrate Mohammed Ibrahim of the Kwara State Magistrates Court sitting in Ilorin.

Josaya was sentenced alongside his accomplice, Gabriel Moyosore, a herbalist, who bought human skulls from him.

The men were convicted of conspiracy, trespass and unlawful possession of human parts.
The Police first information report revealed that Prophet Josaya unlawfully gained entry into a cemetery, where he exhumed human skulls and sold them to various customers at the rate of N8,000 per skull.

A human skull was discovered in the possession of his accomplice, Moyosore and he confessed to the crime.
The Investigating Police Officer, Peter Ibiyemi, told the Court in his evidence that Josaya confessed that he had exhumed over 200 human skulls from the Muslim Cemetery, Osere area of Ilorin.
He added that Josaya began the business in 2009 and that he carried out his operations mainly at night and singlehandedly.
According to Ibiyemi, for each operation, he paid N10,000 to the cemetery security guard.
He also stated that Josaya confessed to have sold each skull for N6,000 to Moyosore.
During cross examination, the counsel for the prophet, Ibrahim Olojoku, argued that the statement obtained from his client was not voluntarily made, adding that he was compelled by the Police to admit to the cime.

However, the Court found him guilty and sentenced him accordingly.
