Abiodun Ibrahim, 32, is on trial at an Ilorin Magistrates' Court for allegedly being in possession of a human foetus.
According to the police prosecutor, Al-Hassan Jubril, the suspect was arrested while in possession of a polythene bag containing a fresh foetus, a black soap, as well as cow and ram horns.
Jubril alleged that investigations revealed that Ibrahim, and others still at large, belong to a secret cult which specialises in killing and removing human parts within Ilorin and its environs for rituals.
He, however, said investigation was still ongoing to identify the victim from whom the foetus was removed.
The accused was arraigned on a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, belonging to a secret cult and culpable homicide; contrary to Sections 96, 97B and 221 of the Penal Code Law.
The prosecutor objected to bail for the accused on the grounds that the offences were not ordinarily bailable, adding that granting bail would jeopardise police investigation.
Magistrate Ibijoke Olawoyin, therefore, ordered that Ibrahim be remanded in prison and adjourned the case to March 1.
