Massive Tragedy In Abia: 30 Lifeless Bodies Found In Chilling Discovery

Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, Maureen Chilaka, told Vanguard that the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ohuhu Police Division had commenced an investigation into the sad development.

She said the community shared a boundary with Imo State, adding that police were collaborating with vigilantes in the area to unravel those behind the dastardly act.

The PPRO said that even though there had been no official complaint to the police about the ugly incident, the command, based on the inquiries by Vanguard, had initiated an investigation into the matter.

She vowed that those behind the heinous crime would not escape the long arm of the law.

Eze Ajomuiwe, while addressing newsmen in his palace at the weekend, revealed that over 30 bodies, mostly young ladies, had been dumped into the river by suspected ritualists from Imo State.

He said that the bodies, usually naked and without private parts, were dumped into the river in the middle of the night by the killers as the community woke to see them in the morning.

He said: “The bodies, like the recent one, are either completely naked and without their private parts or in a bag. There have also been cases of two decomposing bodies seen beside the NNPC pipeline.

“The victims are mostly young girls. The ritualists from Imo usually come at night to dump the bodies of their victims inside the Imo River, and in the morning we wake to see them.”.
