4 teenagers were recently nabbed in Mbo State Local Government 
Area of Akwa Ibom State when they went looking for a buyer of a human 
skull in their possession. 
The
 Akwa Ibom State Police Public Relations Officer, Delia 
Nwawe, said the 
suspects were arrested by officers of the Criminal Investigation 
Department(CID) on receiving an alert from vigilant youths in the 
area.
The alleged leader of the group, Emmanuel 
Edet Ikot denied the accusation, claiming that he only stumbled on a human skull 
while working at an uncompleted building for a man who had paid him to cut grasses.
"I was paid to cut grass and clean up an uncompleted building 
by one man in Oron. As i was clearing the place i stumbled on a human 
skull. I then rushed to inform my friends of what i found and in the 
company of those my friends, we went to pick the human skull.After 
picking it,we decided to sell it, but we did not know of any possible 
buyer. So, it was suggested by one of us that we take it to a native 
doctor in Mbo.The four of us went together,but on our way, we were held 
by the youth leader of Mbo. After the skull was found on me, he called 
the police to arrest us.That is why we are here. I have not sold human 
parts before."
