According to reports, Bello and Oladele were stopped at dawn by a night guard who noticed them carrying a suspicious bag. Bello attempted to resist, allowing Oladele to flee. Bello was subdued and handed over to Amotekun for further investigation.

As the news spread, a law enforcement agent recognized Oladele, who was later apprehended and also transferred to Amotekun. During questioning, Oladele confessed to his involvement after being beaten by an angry crowd.

Bello, a 32-year-old carpenter, explained that he was introduced to the crime by a man named Saheed, who promised him money in exchange for participating. Bello admitted that he and his partner, Oladele, were responsible for exhuming the head and later discovered that Saheed was the buyer who paid them for each head, with Bello receiving N5,000.

Oladele, a 25-year-old barber, detailed his role in the operation, which involved keeping watch while Bello dug up graves. He noted that they typically conducted their operations at night, removing heads and then hiding until dawn. Oladele confirmed that Bello would handle the sale of the heads and share the payment with him.

The two suspects were eventually caught after their operation at Amuloko, which was reportedly set up by Saheed, a native doctor who had previously been involved in the criminal activity but had ceased participating directly.
