Man Arrested with Two Human Skulls, Three Locally Made Guns in Ebonyi
Ebonyi State Command has arrested a suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, from the Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area with two human skulls and three locally made guns.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu on Wednesday.
He said the suspect, during interrogation, confessed that the human skulls were given to him for the preparation of a spiritual concoction.
The Police Spokesman said, “Authorities are actively pursuing the individual mentioned in connection with this case.”
The statement further disclosed that the Command also nabbed a suspect, Nwankwo Obinna, who specializes in altering the colors of stolen tricycles from neighboring states.
“In a separate operation, while tracking a stolen tricycle, operatives of the command uncovered a criminal syndicate specializing in altering the colors of stolen tricycles from neighboring 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 color modifications.”
“All suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations.”
