Man arrested with human skulls in Ebonyi

From Uchenna Inya, Abakaliki

The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested a man with human skulls. The Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Joshua Ukandu, disclosed this in a statement in Abakaliki, the state capital.

He said the suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, from Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area of the state, was found with two human skulls and three locally made guns.

“During further interrogation, Chigozie confessed that the human skulls were given to him for the preparation of a spiritual concoction. Authorities are actively pursuing the individual mentioned in connection with this case,” he said.

Ukandu said in a separate operation, while tracking a stolen tricycle, operatives of the command uncovered a criminal syndicate specialising in altering the colours of stolen tricycles from neighbouring states.

“This operation led to the arrest of Nweke Chukwudi ‘m’, Nwankwo Obinna ‘m’, John Abba ‘m’, and Uche Abba ‘m’. Three stolen tricycles were recovered from the suspects, who admitted to receiving the vehicles from accomplices for colour modifications. All suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations,” the PPRO said.
