Why I started selling human skulls

Explaining the reason why he started selling human skulls, he said the palm oil and cashew nuts business he was into wasn’t fetching him enough money to treat his sick mother.

“My mother has been sick, we took her to one hospital in Lokoja and the doctor said we need N2 million for her treatment. So I had no choice but to venture into skull business. My intention was to leave the business once I gathered the money to settle my mother’s medical bills.
“So far, from the seven that I had sold, I’ve made N245,000. I actually sold them to different people."
