Man Arrested in Abuja for Possession of Human Body Parts

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command announced the arrest of Nuhu Ezra from Gosa Kipikipi village, Lugbe, Abuja, who was found in possession of a human skull and bones.

Josephine Adeh, the command’s spokesperson, revealed this in a statement issued on Wednesday.

She said the suspect was arrested on Tuesday by operatives from the Iddo police division following credible intelligence.

During interrogation, Ezra confessed to picking up the body parts from the bush while hunting in Kuje, with the intention of selling them for N600,000.

FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Benneth Igweh, has ordered a thorough investigation to identify the origin of the body parts, the intended buyer, and to determine if Ezra killed anyone to obtain the body parts and how long he has been involved in this activity.

The CP also urged residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police.
