Ebonyi: Police arrest suspects with human skulls, recover stolen items

The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested a man, Ovuta Chigozie, for being in possession of two human skulls and three locally made guns.

The suspect is from Okoffia community in Ezza South LGA of the state.

During 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.

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.

This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Command’s Spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu and made available to journalists in Abakalili.

All suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations.

The Ebonyi State Command reiterated its commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the state.
