He sold a skull for N10,000 and I sold it in return for N20,000. Greed made me to continue until I was arrested. I buy pieces of bones for N2,000, liver and intestines for N1,000 each and resell for N5,000 or more depending on the buyer’s bargaining power. I am not a killer. I have never killed anyone. I only request for decomposed human parts. I needed the money to feed my 3 children aged 30, 27 and 23. Those who patronize me are herbalists and trado-medical practitioners. The parts are used to prepare concoction for sick children. So far, I have only sold 10 human skulls.” she said.

Doctors have discovered a tumour with teeth growing out of it in a baby’s brain.

The rare cancer was found in a four-month-old patient in Maryland, United States, last year but details of it have just been released in a medical journal.

It was reportedly the first instance of teeth being discovered in a particular brain tumour, called the adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.

The baby’s cancer has since been removed through surgery and he is now said to be doing well.

“It’s not every day you see teeth in any type of tumour in the brain. In a craniopharyngioma, it’s unheard of,” said neurosurgeon Dr Narlin Beaty, who operated on the infant.

The article in the New England Journal of Medicine added the tumour had been discovered near the boy’s pituitary gland after tests revealed his head was growing at an increased rate.
