Men of the Ebonyi state police command have arrested four members of an organ-harvesting syndicate. Parading the suspects before newsmen, the spokesperson of the command, Joshua Ukandu, recounted how the suspects were arrested.
He said that on October 11, one Blessing Chikezie Onyekachi reported to the command that her husband, Chikezie Idenyi, left home on August 14 and told her that he was going to Lagos on a business trip but she did not hear him again.
‘’Command operatives from the Anti-kidnapping unit, through a painstaking investigation and credible intelligence, arrested one Innocent Elebe and Eze Elechi; they made useful statements, which 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).”
Ukandu said operatives of the command have recovered the corpses of Chikezie Idenyi and Chibu Odii while efforts are ongoing to recover the remains of the third victim
