The people who live in Upper Sokponba in Benin City were shocked when
they discovered that a ‘mad man’ who lived around them for almost two years was
not actually mad but a murderer. Upon his arrest, a gun, different human
parts and a sum of N4m was found on him. Residents of the area claims the
man lived in a make-shift apartment and usually takes his bath outside naked
and they never suspected he was a ritual killer. Continue below to read how he
was caught;
A suspected ritual killer who specialises in
selling human parts has been arrested by security operatives in Benin City, the
Edo State capital, southern Nigeria.
The man, whose identity is yet to be
revealed, was allegedly arrested at the Upper Sokponba road area of Benin with
cut to size gun, different human parts and N4 million cash.
It was reliably gathered that the man
had lived in a make-shift apartment for close to two years, pretending to be a
madman.
According to one of the landlords in
the area simply identified as Pa. Onaiwu, who spoke to journalists, the
suspected ritual killer was in the habit of behaving funny especially when it
is getting dark.
“This man sometimes behaves funny. In
the afternoon, you will see him bathing naked, behaving like a real madman.
“What really disturbed us are the dead
bodies found around almost the same area. The most serious issues is that if a
dead body is that of a woman, the head, the breasts and the private part would
have been removed. Same also goes for a male dead body.
“The last person that died around the
area was a woman whose head, breasts and private part was cut off. Nobody will
ever believe that the man is not a madman, the way he behaves, not knowing that
he is responsible for all the killings in that area.”
He suggested that someone might have
seen the suspect dumping the headless body on the express road and informed the
security operatives.
When contacted on phone, Edo State
Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, said he was aware of the rumour but that
he was yet to be briefed by the DPO of Ugbekun division in charge of the area,
but added that he is making frantic effort to confirm the incident from his men
on ground
