The police in Lagos have detained Samson Onilewaji, 21, after he was discovered with body parts, guns and stolen things during a stop-and-search on the Lekki-Epe Motorway.

Abimbola Adebisi, the command’s spokesperson, stated that the suspect was apprehended in an unregistered commercial shuttle bus carrying six people.

She stated that a search of the vehicle and its occupants yielded a suspected human right hand, two locally manufactured pistols, one live ammunition, two axes, a point-of-sale terminal, and five ATM cards from the suspect.

“During a search of the vehicle and its occupants, the suspect, identified as Samson Onilewaji, ‘M’, aged 21 years, was found in possession of a suspected human right hand, two locally made pistols, one live cartridge, two axes, one POS terminal machine, and five ATM cards,” the police command said in a statement on Friday, June 26 2026.
