The Oyo State Police Command in Ibadan has arrested a trader identified as Emmanuel Egbu, for an allegation of eating human excreta with bread.
We gathered from onlookers that Egbu, who has a shop at the Sango area of Ibadan, was caught by some persons around 12 noon on Saturday.
Eating human excreta is said to be an identified activity of the Internet fraudsters, who also combine money rituals with cyber fraud and this attracted so many people to the place to have a glimpse of the weird incident.
Egbu, has a flourishing cosmetics shop where he sells Brazilian hair among other products, was said to have been caught eating human excreta and bread. Those who caught him with the bizarre food combination were said to have raised the alarm, which attracted a huge crowd.

Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, Police PRO in Oyo State, when contacted told our correspondent that Egbu was in police custody.
