Sumaila was arrested with the boy's head at Techiman last week, in the residence of a spiritualist where he allegedly went for rituals to become rich.

The spiritualist alerted the Police leading to the arrest of Sumaila.

Sumaila's two accomplices, Koula and Fosu who were on the run were arrested from their hide outs.

Sumaila initially told the Police that he got the human head from a corpse that had been buried at Kunsu, a farming community in Kintampo North Municipality .
