Man caught with human head confesses he needed it to put a stop to his "suffering"

The Police in Enugu State have arrested a suspected ritualist, identified as John Igwe for being in possession of human head.

DAILY POST reports that the suspect was on his way to Abakiliki for money ritual before he was arrested by men of the Enugu State Police Command.

John confessed that he has struggled so much to earn a living but to no avail, adding that he ran into a friend who introduced him to a native doctor.

According to him, “he took me to a native doctor in Abakiliki and I was asked to go and bring human head. I was going there with the human head when I was arrested.”

Asked what he wanted to achieve with the ritual, he said “It is for money; I have suffered so much in life”.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in the State, Nwodibo Ekechukwu, who paraded him alongside other suspects on Wednesday, said the command had recorded several break-through in its war against criminal elements.

According to the Commissioner, “on 16th of this month, at Amaechi-Idodo, along Enugu-Abakiliki Express Way, our men intercepted a Toyota bus conveying three passengers; on searching the vehicle, they discovered a human head.

“Investigation revealed that one John Igwe from Efiom in Ebonyi State was in possession of the unlawful object.

“On interrogation, he said he had suffered a lot, breaking stones to make a living, and later met a friend, who introduced him to a native doctor, known as Ifeanyi. The native doctor, thereafter, requested him to bring human head for the ritual that will be made available to him”.
