The Ebonyi State Command has arrested a suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, from the Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area for possession of two human skulls and three locally made guns.
Police spokesman, Superintendent of Police, SP Joshua Ukandu, said: “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.”
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.
The spokesman said that 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.
Ukandu said that all suspects will be charged in court upon the completion of investigations.
The Ebonyi State Command reiterated its commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state while we urge residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity around them on the command control room number 07064515001.
