Niger State police have arrested suspected
cultists who specialize in eating roasted
human’s flesh.
The cult members were detained on August 21
in Kuso village, Lavun LGA, Nigerian Tribune
reports. The group included an elderly woman
identified as Fatima.
One Mohammed handed over his son Umar to
his mother (Umar’s grandmother) Fatima to
look after the boy pending father’s arrival from
the journey within the state.
Meanwhile, the main suspect Fatima allegedly
handed over the boy to another suspect named
Tetengi with the prospective to kill the 9-year-
old and eat his flesh in the group of 3. Tetengi
slaughtered Umar and roasted his body
then shared it with Fatima and the Aminatu,
the third cultist.
The father came back from trip and did not
find his child at his mother’s house. Fatima
told him that his boy had disappeared shortly
after Mohammed left adding that she had not
seen him since.
Following the incident, Mohammed invited an
Islamic scholar to shed the light on strange
disappearance, a police source said, adding
that the prayer allowed it to be revealed that
Fatima was lying.
According to Crime & Security, the case was
immediately reported to the police by the
family, following which the operatives started
investigation.
As soon as the suspected cultists were
arrested, all 3 confessed to the crime, with one
of them saying that human’s flesh was tastier
than that of an animal .
All the suspects are soon to face charges.
