The long arm of the law has caught up with  a 23- -year- old man, Musa Ibrahim Kamuku, following his arrest and detention in a Police cell by the authorities of the  Niger State Police Command, over  allegation of being in possession of a human head.  Luck ran against the suspect,   who hailed from Tegina,  in Rafi Local Government Area of the state, when he mistakenly  called a wrong telephone number belonging to one comrade Abdullahi  Akayaga, former Chairman, Nigerian Union of Teachers in the local government areas.
This was contained in a news bulletin issued by the Niger State government, a copy of which was obtained by the Saturday  Tribune on Friday, in Minna, the state capital.

 It added that Kamukuhad called to inform the former labour leader and urged him to get his money ready as he had gotten the type of  human head he wanted.  The news bulletin stated further that Akayaga was said not to have betrayed emotions as he pretended to   have had prior knowledge  of the transaction, as he promptly responded that he was ready to give the suspect the N3 million he was requesting  for.

Comrade Akayaga then, alerted the police about his telephone conversation  between him and the  suspect, after which the suspect later asked the former NUT chairman to come with the N3 million and collect  the human head. The news bulletin stated  further that Akayaga  quickly called the police, who had already been alerted and told Kamuku to meet him at the farmto collect the money.
