A syndicate of ritual killers who sell human parts has been busted by members of Anambra State Vigilante known as Udo Ga Achi. This followed the arrest of two of the suspects, Mr Ifeanyi Ogbanje and Mr Emeka Ekwealor in Eziagulu Otu, Anambra East Local Government Area. They confessed to the gang killing one Mr Samuel, an Ivite Aguleri native.
According to Ogbanje in his confession, the gang leader, Chief Chinaka Udealor, who is still at large, had lured Samuel, a commercial motorcycle rider, to his house.
They stabbed and shot him, harvested Samuel’s body parts, and sold them to a native doctor.
Mr. Ogbanje confessed that one ”Marcel Bad” called the victim, Samuel, around 8pm, telling him that Chinaka was around and that he should come and join where they were drinking.
‘Samuel rushed to Chinaka’s house where we were waiting. We held him down, and Chinaka stabbed him. I shot him in the head,’ Ifeanyi said, further revealing that after Samuel’s death, Chinaka cut off his limbs and they disposed the corpse in a nearby river.
Ifeanyi said he received N40, 000 for his involvement, which he used to buy fertilizer.
The other suspect, Mr Emeka Ekwealor, agreed with the confession of Ifeanyi.
The suspects led the Udo Ga-Achi Anambra East security team to the crime scene which was Chinaka’s sitting room.
