According to him, a year ago a man (name not disclosed ) contacted him to provide him with his human skull which he was able to exhume from the grave of a child buried around Nanton.
He indicated that the same man again this year requested another human skull but this time around he refused to provide which led to the friend recording a video and claiming that he was a killer and that he would kill all the people in the community which created fear and panic.
Upon the confession, the suspect was handed over to the police who arrested and interrogated him, leading to the arrest of Mr Tanko.
