Ibrahim said , “ My duty is to deliver human parts given to me by Ojo to his clients across the northern states .
We make quick money in this business but I cannot tell what the buyers are using the parts for .
“ A lot of people are interested in buying human parts but I don ’ t know what they use them for . My duty is to deliver as and when due to our clients and collect the money .
“ I don ’ t even ask clients what they are using the human eyeballs for , but I guess it must be something serious . ”
