The complainant later identified the skull to be that of his late mother.
On interrogation, the two suspects confessed to the crime. They also admitted that they intended to use the skull for money-making rituals.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bashir Makama, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and prosecution.
