Operatives of the Ebonyi State Police Command have arrested a suspect from the Okoffia community in the Ezza South Local Government Area, who was in possession of two human skulls and three locally made guns.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, who disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, said the suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, confessed that the human skulls were given to him for the preparation of a spiritual concoction.
Ukandu also revealed that the police in the state have recovered some stolen tricycles in the state.
He stated that 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 operation, Ukandu disclosed, led to the arrest of four suspects, 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” the spokesman said, adding that all suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations.
