There is a twist to the story of Alfa Tunde Olayiwola, with whom a human head was recently found in Ondo State.
He has died in police custody, raising the suspicion of torture.
The Islamic cleric slumped on Saturday, Dec. 25, the police in Ondo announced on Sunday, Dec. 26.
But the Public Relations Officer, DSP Olufunmilayo Odunlami, has denied any kind of torture.
According to him, the suspect was behaving strangely and was rushed to a hospital where he was confirmed dead.
Odunlami denied that he was beaten or tortured to death.
He said that newsmen present days earlier as the cleric was paraded can confirm there were no signs of torture on his body.
The PRO added that there was no need to torture him as the truth about his complicity was already made known.
Suggesting he was in possession of the skull for money ritual purposes, the deceased had reportedly confessed that he was into it to make his life better.
