Hello Friends!
This is some strange news from Ghana...Source: TalkofNaija.
OFFICERS FROM the Accra Regional Police Headquarters arrested a 32-year-old man on Tuesday March 6, 2012 in an operation at Madina Zongo Junction, Accra.
Kwaku Sakyi, a driver resident at Larteh Akuapem in the Eastern Region, was arrested at about 5:00am with four dry human bones while scouting for a buyer.
He was arrested upon a tip-off when he arrived at Madina in the hope of meeting one Alhaji whom he claimed bought such items.
Police investigation revealed that the bones were dug out from an abandoned cemetery at Larteh.
Sources at Larteh told police that the parcel of land, which used to be a cemetery some hundred years ago, had long been abandoned. An eighty-year-old source disclosed that when he was young, the town was not burying their dead in that potion.

He was arrested upon a tip-off when he arrived at Madina in the hope of meeting one Alhaji whom he claimed bought such items.
Police investigation revealed that the bones were dug out from an abandoned cemetery at Larteh.
Sources at Larteh told police that the parcel of land, which used to be a cemetery some hundred years ago, had long been abandoned. An eighty-year-old source disclosed that when he was young, the town was not burying their dead in that potion.
Narrating how Sakyi got the bones, the Regional Crime Officer Superintendent, Emmanuel Frank Adufati, said during interrogation, Sakyi explained that he was engaged by a herbalist in Larteh to clear a parcel of land for a building project some five months ago. The said land had several tree stumps on it.
It was while digging one of the stumps that Sakyi said he found the bones beneath it. He kept the bones and began to shop for buyers. Sakyi told the police that a friend of his whom he contacted to help him get a buyer told him that there was one Alhaji at Madina who bought such items.
Sakyi, who had kept the bones for over five months, probably heaved a sigh of relief after communicating with the said Alhaji, thinking he had a buyer. He quickly came down to deliver the human bones to him. Ironically, the supposed Alhaji was a police officer.
He was arrested when he attempted to bargain with the police officer for a price. Sakyi was in the custody of the Accra Regional Police Command for a day and was later referred to the Larteh Police for further investigations.
Meanwhile, police have not confirmed which charges would be preferred against Sakyi.
