Chike Oti who is the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command confirmed the arrest of the cleric.

In his confession, the cleric said the body parts and organs were given to him by an accomplice.

The police said the cleric was arrested following a tip-off from a citizen.

He said the commissioner of police, Edgal Imohimi, has particularly urged Lagosians to be security conscious and know their neighbours.

”The CP urges members of the public to embark on ‘Operation Know Your Neighbour’ because the Alfa was staying in a compound without his neighbours knowing what he does for a living," Imohimi said.

The said cleric and accomplice who has also been arrested, will be charged to court soon.

NAIJ.com had earlier reported that Imohimi inaugurated ‘Operation Know Your Neighbour’ to check cultism and drug peddling in the state.

He inaugurated the operation during a town hall meeting hosted by Area G Command in Ogba, Lagos.

According to Imohimi, people have taken the act of knowing one’s neighbour for granted, and this is militating against the safety of the society.

“Community policing is based on partnership. It is the people that know how their problem can be solved. I hereby call on everyone that we have decided to launch Operation Know Your Neighbour.

“We have long taken this act for granted as everyone wants to be on their own. We don’t want to know the person sitting or living beside us."
