Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested a suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, a native of Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area for possessing two human skulls and three locally made guns.
A statement signed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Joshua Ukandu, disclosed that Chigozie confessed that the human skulls were given to him for the preparation of a spiritual concoction.
According to the police image maker, authorities are actively pursuing the individual mentioned in connection with the case.
“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, Nwankwo Obinna, John Abba, and Uche Abba. Three stolen tricycles were recovered from the suspects, who admitted to receiving the vehicles from accomplices for colour modifications.”
Ukandu assured that all suspects will be charged to court upon completion of investigations.
He restated the command’s commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state and urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity around them on the command control room number 07064515001.
