“Police investigation led to the arrest of one Innocent Elebe and Eze Elechi who made useful statements that led the police to arrest Obinna Nwanguru and Oda Peter”

“They confessed to killing Chikezie Idenyi, Chibu Odii and Eze Fabian on different dates while trying to extract their blood/organs to use it to cure a cognitively impaired person (Down syndrome)”, Mr Ukandu said.

He noted that the corpses of Chikezie Idenyi and Chibu Odii were subsequently recovered while effort is ongoing to recover the remains of the third victim.
