Ritualists are back again! Police have nabbed four men riding a public bus with a human skull in broad day light.
The suspect, John Igwe
The police said in Enugu on Wednesday announced the arrest of four suspects in possession of a human skull on the Enugu-Abakaliki expressway. Revealing the circumstances surrounding the arrest, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ekechukwu Nwodibo, said that the four men were arrested in a bus.
“We arrested these four men with a human skull but after thorough investigation, we discovered that one of them, John Igwe, was the real person in possession of the skull.
“The other three persons appear to be innocent and Igwe said that he was lured into the act by a friend who introduced him to a native doctor called Ifeanyi Nwanguji from Ohaukwu Local Government Area in Ebonyi,” Nwodibo said.
He said that Igwe made confessional statement, saying that he got the skull from a burial ground in Emene, Enugu State and that it would be used to prepare a medicament for stroke patients.
He will soon be charged to court.
