The Ebonyi State Police Command has apprehended a suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, from the Okoffia community in Ezza South Local Government Area, who was found with two human skulls and three homemade firearms.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Ukandu stated that 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,” he said.
The spokesman also revealed that the police in the state have recovered some stolen tricycles in the state.
“While tracking a stolen tricycle, operatives of the command uncovered a criminal syndicate specializing in altering the colors of stolen tricycles from neighboring states,” stated.
He noted that the operation 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.”
“All suspects will be charged to court upon the completion of investigations,” he said.
