“As a leader in the Vigilante Group, I had access to guns which gave me the upper hand to hunt my victims and harvest their penises,” he said.

One of the gang members, 18-year old Obila Attah leaked their operations to the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Tactical Squad after Yakubu had lured them into the group with a promise to make them comfortable, but reneged on the promise.

Meanwhile, as investigations continue, some people have called on the police to fish out the cohorts to whom they have been selling the human parts and bring them to book as well.

It is not yet clear what the buyers use the human penises for.
