The police in Ebonyi State have arrested a suspect, Ovuta Chigozie, from the Okoffia community in the Ezza South Local Government Area, who had two human skulls and three locally made guns.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Joshua Ukandu, stated this in Abakaliki, capital of the state, on Wednesday.
According to the police spokesperson, 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 spokesperson also revealed that the police in the state had recovered some stolen tricycles in the state.
“While tracking a stolen tricycle, operatives of the command uncovered a criminal syndicate specialising in altering the colours of stolen tricycles from neighbouring states.
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.
