A major breakthrough in Ebonyi State’s fight against crime unfolded as the police arrested a man, Ovuta Chigozie, found in possession of two human skulls and three locally made firearms. The suspect, a resident of Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area, reportedly confessed that the skulls were given to him for preparing a spiritual concoction.
Authorities have launched a manhunt for the individuals linked to the gruesome discovery, as investigations into ritualistic activities in the region intensify.
In a separate operation, police operatives tracking a stolen tricycle uncovered a syndicate involved in repainting stolen vehicles from neighboring states to evade detection. The operation led to the arrest of four suspects: Nweke Chukwudi, Nwankwo Obinna, John Abba, and Uche Abba.
During interrogation, the suspects admitted to receiving the stolen tricycles from accomplices for color modification before reselling them. Police recovered three stolen tricycles from their possession.
The Ebonyi State Police Command, through its spokesperson SP Joshua Ukandu, reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of residents and vowed that all suspects would face prosecution upon the conclusion of investigations.
