Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) attached to Iddo Police Division of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, have arrested one Nuhu Ezra with human parts in his possession.
The suspect was arrested on July 9, 2024, at about 9:00pm, while the operatives were acting on credible intelligence.
He was arrested in Gosa Kipikipi village, Lugbe, Abuja, with a human skull and bones of other human body parts.
FCT Police Spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, while confirming the arrest, said: “the suspect, upon interrogation, stated that he picked them up from the bush while hunting at Kuje and had the intention to sell the body parts for N600,000.”
