Operatives of the Lagos State police command of the
Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS have arrested three suspects in connection with
pounded human flesh stashed in a sack in Lagos State.
One of the suspects identified as Ekene was arrested with the sack and he then
implicated two other suspects who were also arrested. The two other suspects included an Oil and Gas businessman (name withheld) and
a middle aged man believed to be a native doctor.
They are currently detained at the police cell at SARS office in Ikeja, Lagos
where they are being interrogated. The Lagos State Police public Relation Officer, PPRO, SP Dolapo Badmos who
confirmed the arrest said the suspects are undergoing interrogation following
the discovery.
According to her, the police arrested Ekene with the human flesh and when he
was interrogated he said he was sent by the oil magnate. According to Police sources, Ekene was accosted by some police detective on routine
checks along Bucknor area of Ejigbo with one white sack containing an undisclosed
content. Ekene was ordered to open the sack and he confessed that it contained human
flesh. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the station where the matter was
transferred to SARS.
When he made a confessional statement, Ekene told the police that he was promised
N500,000 by the oil magnate who asked him to abduct a baby for him. He said out of the money he was promised, he was paid N100,000 as advance and
he went and abducted a two year old baby for him which he took to a native
doctor as he was directed. He said he was caught after he was returning the severed and pounded body of the baby to the
man that sent him in order to get his balance.
When PM News reporter went to SARS on Wednesday, the suspects were still
detained in the cell and were under going interrogation.
Dolapo told our reporter that the oil magnate have not owned up that he was the
person that sent Ekene for the job, noting that, this has dragged the case. She added that the police have intensified efforts to unmask what really
happened and to arrest and prosecute those involved in the crimes.
Why, oh why? Why are people so wicked? How do they sleep at night? Who knows whose baby that was. Sad story indeed.
