[size=14pt]Igbos underdeveloped Igboland With Greed, Wickedness and Selfishness - Vanguard News[/size]

In our discussion last Sunday, I made the point, which was almost distorted by editorial pusillanimity, that ideally, in order to render justice to Ndigbo Nigerian leaders who participated in genocide against them during the civil war should be prosecuted at the International Court of Justice. But I also argued that given the very low level of political maturity and moral consciousness in the country presently, that would never happen.

Igbo-menNow, the major motivation for the two-part series entitled “Ndigbo and the burden of history” is to draw attention to how members of the ruling elite dominated by Northerners had, especially from 1966 to 1999, contributed to the underdevelopment of Igboland.

The civil war provided haters of Ndigbo within Gen. Yakubu Gowon’s cabinet and the Nigerian army to execute their genocidal intentions against Igbo people. And even afterwards, the same misanthropes insisted on maximum punishment for the former Eastern region.

Accordingly, the Gowon administration adopted a banking policy that nullified any bank account operated during the war by the Biafrans. Each Igbo depositor of the Nigerian currency could only access a flat sum of twenty pounds, irrespective of the deposit. In addition, the military government promulgated the Enterprises Promotion Decree of 1974, or Indigenisation Decree, ostensibly to compel foreign holders of majority shares of companies operating in Nigeria to hand over a larger percentage of stocks, bonds and shares to indigenous Nigerian business interests.

But the real targets of that decree were the war-weary Biafrans already impoverished by the conflict, the wicked banking policy mentioned earlier, and ban on importation of second-hand clothes (okirika) and stockfish. Of course, the Igbo in general did not have the financial wherewithal to benefit from the Indigenisation Decree. Moreover, most of the jobs and positions in virtually all the sectors of the economy previously occupied by Easterners were taken over by those from other parts of the country. In my opinion, scars of the civil war and its aftermath are still visible in Igboland.

For instance, as I have stated severally in this column, of the six geopolitical zones in the country, theSouth East has the least number of developmental projects from the federal government. It is very likely that marginalisation of Igboland would continue under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, because his party, the All Progressives Congress, is dominated by political shylocks who would want to exact revenge from the South East for voting massively for former President Goodluck Jonathan.

It is patently false to lay all the blame for the underdevelopment of Igboland on Igbophobic Nigerians from other ethnic groups. The desperate situation there has been worsened by the blizzard of incompetent leadership in different Igbo speaking states. Specifically, with very few exceptions, top political office holders in the states that comprise the defunct Eastern Region have been grossly incompetent, selfish and corrupt.

From the administration of Ukpabi Asika to the present governments of the five South Eastern states, financial rascality, nepotism, indiscipline, corruption, and petty jealousies and visionlessness have remained leitmotifs in Igboland. Governors, commissioners, top civil servants, highly placed judicial officers, traditional rulers and members of the clergy have sacrificed core values of truthfulness, hard work, honesty, integrity, regard for good name, humility and brotherly love embedded in Igbo culture in the pursuit of power and wealth.

How many governors in Igboland, both past and present, can give satisfactory account of how they spent the monies that accrued to their respective states during their tenure?

Why is it that governors, federal and state legislators and other top political office holders become stupendously rich after leaving office? In large parts of Igboland, the roads, health facilities, educational institutions, etc have deteriorated despite the revenue accruing to both the states and local governments.

People of Imo still remember with nostalgia late Chief Sam Mbakwe for his laudable achievements in the old Imo state, which should have been emulated and improved upon by governors that came afterwards. It is deplorable that many prominent Igbo sons and daughters who could have deployed their influence to attract developmental projects from the federal government to their respective states merely use their positions to enrich themselves.

Another cause for concern is absurd and pernicious discrimination within each South Eastern state and between the five states as well. For example, in the civil service and educational institutions up to the university level, people from different parts of the same state discriminate and fight among themselves. Sometimes, an application for employment or promotion is rejected because the person is from Imo state rather than Enugu state, and vice versa.

Former governor of Abia state, Theodore Orji, committed a very serious blunder when he sacked employees from other Igbo speaking states in a misguided attempt to ameliorate the unemployment problem there. Although he later reversed the decision, his irrational action demonstrates that sometimes Ndigbo are their own worst enemies.

The Igbo not only fight themselves in Igboland; some of them for selfish reasons exhibit excessive competitiveness in other parts of the federation. In the North and South West, there are incidents of unhealthy rivalry between Igbo individuals and groups, each trying to outdo one another using Machiavellian tactics, generating unnecessary animosity in the process.

Certainly, within reasonable limits, ambitiousness and competitiveness are psychological triggers for self-discovery, self-actualisation, and societal progress. But in the long run, it is better for Ndigbo wherever they might be to work together in solidarity for the benefit of one another. It is betrayal of the highest order that prominent sons and daughters of Igboland create socio-cultural and political associations purportedly to promote collective Igbo interests, whereas the real intent is to use such bodies for getting favours from government. Some of them even collect mobilisation fees from government without executing the contracts meant for their states.

More than anything else, there is urgent need for moral and ideological reorientation in Igboland. Well-placed Ndigbo should see themselves as role models for the young ones to emulate. Right now, the lifestyles of many Igbo VIPs tend to promote excessive preoccupation with primitive accumulation and hollow ostentation. Now, the average Nigerian generally believes that Ndigbo love money too much, more than members of other ethnic groups. There is a pernicious cliché that if a purportedly dead Igbomanfails to rise up at the clanging of coins near his ears then he is truly dead.

The fact of the matter is that different people have different levels of pecuniary attachment, irrespective of their ethnic origins. The Hausa-Fulani, the Yoruba, the Nupe, the Isokoand so on want to be as financially comfortable as much as the Igbo. Remember, Ndigbo, because of hardships of the war and the need to survive extremely daunting post-war challenges, had to struggle harder than other Nigerians just to survive.

Even before the civil, their gregarious can-do-it attitude compelled them to leave their homeland in search of livelihood nationwide. And because jealous Igbophobic Nigerians unnecessarily concerned by the relative successes of Ndigbo in their midst, misinterpreted the single-minded determination of the latter by creating the myth of excessive money mindedness referred to earlier.

I submit that Igbo political office holders who steal funds meant for the development of Igboland are a complete disgrace and should be treated as enemies of the people. For Ndigbo to occupy their rightful place as primus inter pares within the Nigerian federation, they must begin to live according to the moral principles encapsulated in the concept of ezigbo aha kariri ego(good name is superior to money). Prominent Igbo indigenes, wherever they might be, must set aside their ephemeral egoistic interests and work for the good of Igboland as a whole.

[size=14pt]Hotel Selling Cooked Human Meat Found In Onitsha *Police Arrests 11 With Fresh Human Heads[/size]

On Thursday Onitsha police arrested 11 people after they discovered 2 fresh human heads in a hotel (name withheld) very close to the popular Ose-Okwodu market in Anambra state.2 AK47 rifles & other weapons were also discovered in the hotel.

The arrest followed tip-offs from area residents on Thursday morning.

The hotel owner, 6 women and 4 men were arrested.

After police got access to the hotel, they made a startling discovery of two human heads wrapped in a cellophane bag, two AK47 rifles, two army caps, 40 rounds of live ammunition and so many cell phones.

“Each time I came to market, because the hotel is very close to the market, I always noticed funny movements in and out of the hotel; dirty people with dirty characters always come into the hotel. So, I was not surprised when the police made this discovery in the early hours of yesterday,” said a vegetable seller in the area

A Pastor who was among the people who tipped off the police on Thursday said: I went to the hotel early this year, after eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700, I was surprised. So I did not know it was human meat that I ate at such expensive price.”

What is this country turning into?

Can you imagine people selling human flesh as meat.

Seriously I’m beginning to fear people in this part of the world.

Lord have mercy!

[b]FBI wants 26-year old Nigerian Scammer

By Elor Nkereuwem

January 18, 2015 02:34AM
Print print Email email Share Share

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has demanded the extradition of a 26-year old Nigerian, Olaniyi Makinde, in connection with e-mail scams currently valued at about USD800,000.

A source at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said the FBI is particularly interested in Mr. Makinde, who is currently standing trial in Ondo State, because of the peculiarity of the scam method which involved remotely breaking into the accounts system of an online payroll company in California, Intuit Inc.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the EFCC, Femi Babafemi, declined to speak in details about the case but our source also said that the EFCC and the FBI have been working together on this case since last year adding that while the FBI would like to try Mr. Makinde in the US, the EFCC want him tried in Nigeria.

Amongs other charges in the 23-count charge brought against the 26-year old, the EFCC said that Mr. Makinde managed to manipulate the American online payroll system to deposit cash in his Intercontinental and Ecobank accounts in Nigeria.

“He installed malicious codes in several victims’ personal computers with which he fraudulently stole their bank information to steal $600, 000,” an official document obtained by NEXT said.

“Because of that boy, three FBI agents came to Nigeria in October. They wanted to see the person that could carry out this deal offshore,” our source at the EFCC said.

The accused, Mr. Makinde, who also goes by the aliases Olaniyi James and Andrea Bradley, recently graduated from the University of Ado Ekiti with a degree in Economics and is scheduled to take part in the compulsory National Youth Service scheme.

He however remains in the custody of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency which said that if convicted of the over 20 count charges brought against him, Mr. Makinde could serve as much as 60 years in jail.

[size=14pt]Wicked Igbo Woman Sold Her Baby to Human-traffickers[/size]

ENUGU—The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Enugu State Command, has arrested a young woman, identified as Nkechi Isioko, from Mpu in Aninri Local Government Area of the State for allegedly attempting to sell her baby for N100, 000.

Nkechi was paraded alongside some prostitutes and pipeline vandals. It was gathered that the suspect had collected the sum of N100, 000 from one Mrs. Blessing Egbo before operatives of the NSCDC arrested her and the suspected buyer.

She claimed that Mrs. Egbo initially gave her part payment of N10,000, and later completed the money.

She further confessed that she later gave back the N100, 000 to Mrs Egbo after she was advised not to sell her own baby, adding that she wanted to sell the baby because she needed money to treat herself.

Speaking while parading the suspects, the commandant of NSCDC in Enugu State, Mr. Lar Stephen Zwali, warned pipeline vandals to look for another business, saying his command had intensified surveillance.

He disclosed that the suspects were caught at Nenwe in Aninri Local Government in the night while they were vandalising the pipelines.

The NCSDC Commandant further told journalists that though the NNPC repaired the pipelines before it commenced pumping of petroleum products to its depot in Enugu, his command had informed the corporation of the development.

He further advised human traffickers and prostitutes to find another business, warning that his command was committed to stopping their illegal business.

The Chairman of the Committee on Child Adoption and Fostering in Enugu State and Archbishop of the Anglican Communion, Enugu Province, Most Reverend Emmanuel Chukwuma, who also spoke to reporters warned that the state would no longer be conducive for human traffickers and prostitutes.

He stated that the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had directed them to stop prostitution and illegal sale and adoption of babies.

[b][size=20pt]Jimoh Obabu Salau[/size],
[size=14pt]probably was born and grew up like most other Nigerian men of his age and generation. Unlike his contemporaries, however by the time Jimoh had joined the army and become a fully-fledged “mad dog” as we fondly call our uniformed men and women he had evolved into something very few people could have imagined. The problem was that Jimoh liked to eat. He liked to eat human beings, their internal organs to be precise. When the army sent him to fight alongside others in the Ecomog forces in the Liberia this was a perfect opportunity for Jimoh to get a steady supply of his favourite food. Alas as with all good things he over did it and was apprehended for killing and eating innocent civilians. In the best traditions of the military, they simply shipped him back home to Nigeria and gave him the boot from the Army leaving him free to eat some more of us.

Either due to circumstances or simply because women are a pain in the azz, he killed and ate the intestines of his wife and two children in 2003; he then sold the other parts of their bodies to people. Sadly, his wife was a police officer and was missed, he was promptly traced arrested and charged for the triple homicide. He was sentenced to death and was awaiting execution at the Kaduna prison. What happened next is not too clear but it seems it was decided by some “powerful people” that he was useful so he was PARDONED. And set free to eat some more of us.

Having learnt his lesson, that eating people that can be missed is not the brightest idea Jimoh relocated to Ogun state, in the southwest and eventually became an okada rider who chose a route that enabled him to take passengers to a motor park whilst passing through a bushy area. This was perfect for him, as he made sure that he had plenty of “meat” to eat and sell. Once again, luck ran out on him as some farmers saw him as he was killing a young 22-year-old student (Miss Idowu Aliyu) who he was taking to the motor park to catch a vehicle back to school. The farmers quickly rounded him up and called the cops. Sadly, the girl was dead. Jimoh is still being held by the police and has not yet been charged to court for this latest death.

The police believe that he has not been working alone and I agree. How many of you would like to bet that Jimoh would again be pardoned and freed to eat even more of us?,[/size]

[size=18pt]Yoruba Suspected ritualists dump woman’s corpse at Ogun refuse site[/size]

The Punch, Posted August 2, 2015 4:40 pm by admin Comments
Suspected ritualists dump woman’s corpse at Ogun refuse site

The body of a 23-year-old lady has been dumped at a dump site at the Olomoore junction in Abeokuta metropolis, with some persons of the body already removed.

The victim’s name was given as Sitira, and said to be an apprentice hairdresser.

Before her tragic death, she was said to have completed her apprenticeship and was preparing for her freedom.

Some residents of the area believed that she was a victim of ritualists.

It was gathered that Sitira’s corpse was allegedly thrown off a moving jeep at the Olomoore dump site located along the Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway in the early hours of Sunday.

Littering the site were ladies pants, brassieres, camisoles, lip sticks, powder kits, and nail-paint, which suggested Sitira might not have been the only victim.

Some metres away from the spot, where these items were seen, lay the half-clothed Sitira’s corpse, with her camisole and ‘leggings’ intact.

But close observation of her corpse revealed that substantial flesh from her right arm was cut off, with body fluid oozing out.

Meanwhile, a middleage woman, Esther Adewuyi, who identified herself as a relative of Sitira, spoke with the journalists amidst sobbing.

She said the 23-year-old lady, who lost her only child two years ago, had been living with her mother in the Iberekodo area of Abeokuta North Local Government.

Adewuyi said, “Sitira was an hair stylist apprentice and she was last seen in their house around 10pm on Saturday night where she and her mother discussed plans for her freedom.

“Nobody, including her younger siblings, knew when she went out.”

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed that Sitira must have been killed and dumped at the site.

He said, “We found the corpse in the area but we have taken the corpse to the mortuary.”

[size=14pt]Evil Forests - Ritualists- Money For Murder - Igboland[/size]

Virtually every day, many police stations nationwide especially in the South West of the country are inundated with reports of missing persons.

Available records show that less than 10 percent of such persons ever returned home. A scary 90 percent of them was not found and the bodies of a negligible number that were eventually seen, dumped either on the roadsides, bush paths or inside gutters, mutilated and their vital organs removed.

The only ‘offence’ of the majority of the victims of this cult of Nigerians that incline their hearts to doing evil, is that they boarded the wrong public transport especially commercial buses and taxis to their intended destinations. There are also, cases of trusted loved ones including fathers and children, who hacked one of their own to death for rituals.

Perhaps the most celebrated of such cases in FESTAC area of Lagos last year, was the brutal killing of a middle-aged man by his two elder brothers who thereafter, kept his body inside a room in their apartment and were selling its parts in bits until they were arrested.

Investigations by Sunday Sun revealed that the activities of these syndicates of men and women who survive by denying others the right to life, are on the increase. Until a few years ago, ritual killing was rampant mainly in Lagos, Benin, Kano, Aba and Ibadan. These days, similar horrible cases abound in most parts of the country.

Why ritualists are in business

Checks revealed that ritual killing cuts across both the low and the rich in the society albeit, for varying purposes. The poor that wants to get rich with effortless ease, is assured by native doctors, that he could cross over to the other side where there is less dirt and more sunshine, if he could bring listed human parts. On the other hand, the superstitious rich and affluent in the society wants to acquire more riches or political power are told that there can be no easier way than to sacrifice the lives of fellow human beings. For these two groups and their ilk, only the professional killer, who characteristically has no feeling of mercy, is the guaranteed source of the needed body parts.

Dateline: 2006

Sometime in 2006, an aide of a former governor of one of the South East states quietly eased himself out his plum job because he reported for duty early in the morning one day and met his colleagues cleaning up blood. One of them later confided in him that someone had just been sacrificed for the ‘security’ of their boss. He feigned support for the satanic act until he dumped the job. There was also the case of a baby sacrificed by the wife of a governor of one of the states grappling with Boko Haram insurgency, to secure her position.

From the North, West, East and the South South of Nigeria, Sunday Sun correspondents reported that headhunters are on the prowl and an end to their mindless operations might take time to come.

Ritual killing in South East for various reasons

In ancient times, ritual killing was alien to Igbo land except those carried out to appease the gods. But with the passage of time and development of new habits, especially the get-rich-quick attitude and consequent obscene show of affluence, ritual murder became widespread in the South East zone of the country as checks by Sunday Sun in the five states of the zone revealed.

Evil Forest in Enugu

Petrus Obi in Enugu reports that an evil forest where suspected ritualists dismember their victims was discovered in Enugu State recently. Fresh and decomposing human parts were found in the forest located at Inyi, Enugu Ezike in the Igboeze North Local Government of the State.

It was suspected that victims were taken to the forest and butchered by their assailants who in turn removed vital parts needed for money-spinning rituals. In an attempt to end the evil practice in the area, the people had petitioned the State government, urging it to acquire the expanse of land belonging to the village shrine, Ogene Mmili.

The natives that were worried over increasing cases of missing persons in the community, demanded that those involved in the killings should be exposed and punished.

Among the casualties was Miss Eucharia Abugu Eya who was abducted in the street and later found dead in the evil forest with some parts of her body missing.

It was gathered that Miss Gloria Ugwueke (35), and Caroline Odo Eje, a widow with seven children were earlier victims of ritual killing in the community.

However, it was the killing of Miss Edith Ijeoma Onu Ossai that sparked off protests in the community. More than 1,000 women took to the streets, demanding an end to the killings. Edith’s body had been found without her heart, kidney and private part.

Reacting to the spate of ritual killings in parts of Igbo land, the traditional ruler of Enugu Urban (Ogui Nike), Igwe (Dr.) Tony Ojukwu, noted that such killings were alien to Igbo culture.

He traced the ugly trend to travellers from Igbo land that visited other cultures and in the process, copied the practice of using human heads to bury important personalities.

“It was in the course of travelling that our people encountered these killings and tried to import it into Igbo culture; not that our culture encourages kidnapping and killing people. It’s the people who travelled out and visited some cultures where if a prominent person died, they would keep the death secret until some heads were collected to bury the person in strange belief that it add to the deceased’s prestige.

“Such cultures believe that the coffin of a great man must lie on top of some human heads. His kinsmen would travel out or move into the farms to behead people for burial of their dead. It was imported into Igbo land.

“Even in this place, there were times if important persons died non-adults were kept at home; they don’t go to fetch firewood or water to avoid being beheaded. But civilization and Christianity has restructured everything.”

Still in Anambra state, Dom Ekpunobi and Emma Uzor report that ritual killings seldom occur in the commercial city of Onitsha, because the area is dominated by businessmen, who believe in utilizing their time and talent to create wealth instead of engaging in diabolical means of making it in life. The fact, however, remains that those who found it difficult to remain afloat through hard work resorted to violent crimes such as armed robbery and kidnapping. Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka (Ogisi Igbo) who spoke to Sunday Sun on the implication of ritual killing, said it was an abomination for anybody to kill a fellow human being for ritual.

Chief Ezeonwuka posited that whenever such happens, the land is desecrated and there must be sacrifice to appease the gods.

He said that on no account should the blood of a human being be shed, pointing out that the gods decry such acts.

Ebonyi: Baby snatched from mother’s breast

From Ebonyi state, Goddy Osuji reports that cases of ritual murder abound in the state and that several cases were yet to be resolved by the police.

One of the most agonizing was the abduction of seven under-aged children at Ishiagu community. Among them, was a nine-month old baby snatched from its mother, Mrs Alice Nkwo while she was breast-feeding the baby. The hoodlums later moved into the family’s bedroom and abducted two other children aged between two and three years.

Bemoaning her losses, Mrs Nkwo said that her mind had not been at rest because she could still hear the cries of her abducted children. This and similar incidents prompted a peaceful protest by women in Ishiagu community against rampant abduction of children for rituals.

Also, a 32-year-old nursing mother, Mrs. Nnenna Emmanuel watched helplessly as some hoodlums forcibly took away her two children, eight months old Chidubem Emmanuel and three-year-old Chiemelem Emmanuel on December 24, 2012.

“It was on the Christmas Eve at about 4am, we were sleeping when we heard the sound of a vehicle parking in front of our house. When the car parked, I woke up and my little baby started crying. I carried him to breast feed him while we waited to know the people parking their car in front of our house at that time of the night. “Suddenly, they kicked our door open and one of them entered the house, gave me a slap and snatched my breast-feeding child from me. The other person broke into the other room where my three-year-old baby was sleeping with his grandmother and took him, and they rushed into their car and zoomed off.

“We raised the alarm but before our neighbours could come, they had driven off. I noticed that they were four in number; two persons were in front while another man and a woman sat at the back off the car but because it was dark, I couldn’t see their faces.

Each night I close my eyes, I hear the cries of my two little children calling me. I pray they are still alive”, the distraught mother lamented.

Also, at Eketube in Enyida Development Centre, the headless body of an apprentice nurse, Miss Kelechi Nwawaka (20), was found behind the Comprehensive Secondary School in the community. She was allegedly murdered at Ndiechi Eketube in Abakaliki local government area of the state. Her head, private part and fingers were cut off apparently for ritual purpose.

It was gathered that Kelechi’s journey to her brutal end started on the New Year day when one of her relations, Mrs Margaret Augustine Nweke, invited her for a dinner in her house which she honoured, and later at night, she left for her mother’s house, escorted by the son of her hostess,

A search party comprising men of the Civil Defence Corps and some villagers later found the mutilated body.

Imo: Victims killed, dumped in Nworie River

Our correspondent, George Onyejiuwa in Owerri, reports that in Imo State, ritual killings have been relatively low compared to other neighbouring states. Improved security and clampdown on ritualists’ den in the state by the present administration may have accounted for this.

Be that as it may, there were pockets of cases of missing persons, who were either found days later, with their vital organs missing or simply disappeared without trace.

Recently, there were reported cases of suspected ritual killings especially in Owerri, the state capital. Among them was the discovery of the lifeless bodies of two female students of the Imo State University, with some of their organs missing.

The bodies fished out from the Nworie River on old Nekede road in Owerri metropolis, were suspected to have been dumped in the river by suspected ritualists. Also, there was a reported case of the body of an unidentified young man with missing organs found floating in the Okitankwo stream in Umuchu Uratta village in Owerri North council area.

Mr Ikedia Zereuwa, told Sunday Sun that he suspected that his younger brother, Iwuchukwu Zereuwa, was killed by ritualists who abducted him while on his way to their village, Umuakpu community in Ngor Okpala, from a business trip in Elele community.

“My younger brother was abducted while on his way back from Elele where he had gone to transact business, but he was lucky to have survived because the Okada operator that he paid to transport him to our village that night was an agent of ritualists. So, instead of taking the major road, he took him through a track road which he told my brother was shorter. They had just moved for a short distance when three men came out from the bush and blocked their way.

“It was from there that he was dragged to a small hut in the bush where there were other people. Luckily, the native doctor pointedly told those that brought him that he was not the type of person they needed and ordered them to set him free. But instead, the abductors tied him to a tree and left him there. My brother was later rescued by a man who had gone to the bush to set traps”, he stated.

Virgins in high demand for rituals

Checks by Sunday Sun revealed that the most vulnerable groups in the state are school children, young ladies, pregnant women and elderly people.

It was also gathered that most of the ritual killers target children because it is believed that most children at that relatively tender age are virgins and more potent. Female virgins were also said to be in high demand for rituals.

However, Amadi Okereafor, the chief priest of Umuohoko community in Ngor Okpala council area of Imo State told Sunday Sun that it is a sacrilege in Igbo land for anyone to terminate the life of another. He said that in the days of their ancestors if a man killed his brother or neighbour, he would automatically be banished from the community.

He further pointed out that the rising incidence of ritual killings were due to the inordinate ambition of the new generation of Ndigbo who think that money is the ultimate.

“Life was sacred in Igbo land in the time of our ancestors because if a man killed his kinsman he would be banished because he or she had committed a sin against the land. But today life is nothing as people kill in the name of anything,” he said.

The chief priest also blamed the upsurge in ritual killings on politicians who are ready to do anything to win political office.

Abia: Baby snatched from labour room

Our correspondents, Chuks Onuoha in Umuahia and Okey Sampson in Aba, Abia State report that ritual killing seemed to have become a regular occurrence in some parts of the state to the extent that many have become apprehensive when travelling in the state.

Not long ago, a newly born baby was snatched from the labour room while the mother was battling for survival from post-delivery bleeding.

The baby was yet to be found as at the time of this report and the suspicion is that it must have been used for ritual.

Few days after the tot was snatched, the body of a woman without breasts, eyes, and other vital organs was found in a bush path. Before that incident, a young man, residing in a village in Ohuhu sliced the throat of another young man who passed a night with him in his apartment and fled the village.

He was later caught in far away Port Harcourt, River State, where he’d ran to for safety. He was quoted as saying that a highly placed son of a notable personality within the community had commissioned him to kill the young man and bring some parts of his body.

Two years ago, a woman that went to her farm in Ohuhu near Umuahia in the evening was killed and some of her vital organs removed by unknown persons.

A community leader and one of the oldest men in Ohuhu, Chief Onukwube Anyanwu, told Sunday Sun that rituals are nothing, but sacrifices made to enhance one’s chances and opportunities.

“Different types of people in the society perform rituals and sacrifices to make strong charms for protection, fame, success, riches, etc. The highest of all the charms that can be made by man are those that demand human sacrifice. They are the major causes of ritual killings. There are many people within the society who are in a hurry to attain a particular height. They are not ready to wait for God’s time and for that reason, they want to push the hand of the clock to move faster. When the native doctors or herbalists see such people, they give them very hard conditions like the provision of human parts in order to get what they want.

“Human blood, whether we like it or not, is the costliest of all things mankind can possess. That is the reason many people seem to be succeeding in ritual practices. But whether they like it or not, those who embark on such things have ways of paying back sooner or later.

“In Igbo land, rituals are believed to enhance the chances of those who perform it to have one gain or the other. People consult an oracle and the oracle demands that the only thing that will make them succeed is to bring specific human parts.

“Time was when albinos and hunch-backs were at risk, because it was believed that the oracles demanded them to grant the desire of those who consult them”, Anyanwu said.

Prior to the deployment of soldiers to Abia State in 2010 by the federal government, kidnapping was the order of the day in the state, particularly its commercial hub, Aba.

Now that it appears that soldiers have put kidnappers out of ‘business’, these hoodlums have gone into another business – ritual murder. The most vulnerable are children.

On June 11, 2012, two pupils of Oasis Christian Academy, Amaoji in Obingwa Local Government, Prince (6) and Kenneth (4), the only male children of Mr. Chimezie Nwaoha, a mortician with a private hospital in Aba set out for school.

Ironically, the parents of the two kids who had prepared them for school before going for their various businesses thought they were at school while their teachers who did not see them in school presumed that their parents didn’t allow them come to school. Unknown to both sides, the children could not make it to their school that morning because they were abducted and killed for ritual purposes inside a palm plantation that overlooked their school.

Their assailants removed their vital organs including eyes, tongues, breasts and penis before burying the boys in a shallow grave inside the bush. The police later arrested four persons in connection with the incident. Speaking with Sunday Sun, the late children’s father, Nwaoha said he was yet to understand why somebody would cut short the lives and robust future of innocent children. He said it would be difficult for the gap created by the death of his two sons because the boys were his future hope.

Nwaoha advised other parents to, “look for maids to take care of your kids if you are busy all the time,” adding that if he had a maid what befell him couldn’t have happened. He appealed to the Abia state government to assist his family.

As the police were still grappling with the case of the murdered schoolboys, another suspected ritual murder occurred in the city.

A trailer driver, Ndubuisi (other names withheld) who hails from Amawbia, Awka in Anambra State, allegedly forced his wife, Chinyere, to drink some quantity of fuel and set her ablaze. The woman’s family alleged ritual murder.

Speaking on the incidents in Igboland, a chief priest, Kanu Nwaohamuo said ritual killing was not new in that part of the country. He said it started in the early days when able-bodied men, especially slaves and at times those that have offended the land were sacrificed to appease the gods. Children were not used for that purpose and ritual killings were not for moneymaking. It was done to either appease the gods of the land or as a mark of respect for a fallen king or great man in a community and were seldom done.

The chief priest regretted that these days, ritual murder of even innocent children, has become rampant in Igbo land, and mostly for moneymaking, describing the frequency of such cases as alarming.

He said ritual killing is crime against humanity and urged security operatives to double their efforts in fighting the crime.

The South South zone rated the lowest in ritual killings. For example, in Rivers state, Tony John and Canice Uzoukwu reported that the rampant crimes are armed robbery, kidnapping and cultism.

The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Benjamin Ugwuegbulam (DSP), also told Sunday Sun said that there had not been any reported case of ritual killing in the State.

[size=14pt]Igbo Baby Trafficking Horror[/size]


Startling revelation of how Mrs Lillian Achomba, the woman who was arrested by the police for harbouring 42 pregnant teenagers, ran the home where she trains under-aged boys and girls in sexual acts emerged at the weekend with the police manipulation some highly-placed Nigerians of collusion.

The X-Squad Unit of the Nigeria Police Force last week arrested Mrs Achomba on allegations of trafficking in pregnant girls whose ages range between 13 and 18 years.
The arrest of the woman followed a tip-off from the people of Umunkpeyi Nvosi village in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of Abia State where she resides.

Speaking exclusively with Sunday Sun in Abuja, the Commissioner of Police in-charge of X-Squad said that the team of detectives dispatched to the woman’s alleged training camp found out that she ran a private mortuary and cemetery where those who die during training are preserved and buried.

According to CP Okorie, when the police operatives visited the cemetery and dug up one of the graves, they discovered a fresh body of an infant lying with its mother.
“We also discovered that the woman is using one private clinic called Mercy Maternity Clinic, Umukpeyi Nvosi, Isilia Ngwa South Council. When we investigated the clinic from the state government, we discovered (it) is not registered,” he said.
The CP also said that the woman camped the girls and young men and fed them at her expense, adding, “she fed the men with Indian hemp to serve as enhancement for them to sleep with the girls in order to get them pregnant.

“When any of them delivers, the baby is sold for N150,000 and the children whose HIV status is negative are offered at prices from N200,000 and above depending on the sex of the child,” the CP explained.
Okorie said the police once raided the camp and ordered its closure but that a couple of months after, the woman reopened the camp. “This woman is so rich that she bought over all the security agencies in the state as well as having a high connection in the state,” the police chief added.
He said the woman, who hails from Isiala Ngwa South in Abia State, is now threatening the police authorities to pay her N2million compensation for interfering with what she called her business and her fundamental human right via an Abia High Court.
But he said the police would soon arraign Mrs Achomba, Ukandu Achomba and Uzoma Ohuabunwa as prime suspects in the case.

He also frowned at the way lawyers were rallying round the suspects to get them off the hook.
According to him, 30 girls were rescued last week from the illegal camp and that 28 of them are pregnant while one of them, who was delivered of a baby on Tuesday, lost the child a few hours later.
Okorie disclosed that because of the condition of the ladies, the police resolved to return the girls to the Abia State government on Thursday to allow the social welfare in the state take care of them.

[size=14pt] Nigeria Army Busts Baby Trafficking In Enugu - Igboland on Terror Watchlist[/size]

Soldiers from the 82nd Division of the Nigerian Army busted a notorious “baby factory” in the Gariki area of Enugu, the capital of Enugu State, last weekend.
A military source told SaharaReporters that a unit of soldiers were sent to the location of the factory after one of the victims had tipped off the army. The young woman who reportedly exposed the “baby factory” had managed to escape from the breeding house in the city. Our source disclosed that the army raided the clinic and found at least ten pregnant women held against their will as they awaited childbirth. According to the source, after the women delivered, the babies were taken from them by the operators of the baby factory and sold.

The escaped victim said she had been introduced to a woman identified as a “nurse” and who was to help her deliver her baby. A month later, she delivered a baby. As soon as she was able to stand up, she was asked to go and take a shower. But on returning to the delivery room, she found to her horror that her newborn baby had disappeared.

She stated that the nurse running the baby factory offered her N120,000 and told her that her baby had been given to those who could not biologically have babies.

After arresting the operator of the factory, Chinyere Nome, the soldiers handed her over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

SaharaReporters learned that the army unit that raided the hospital that served as the factory saw and rescued 10 women locked up inside a high-rise fenced compound in Gariki, Enugu. The victims reported that nobody who came into the facility ever left without delivering her baby. “Any girl who came in would not be allowed to go outside again until after delivery,” one victim said.

A source told SaharaReporters that the soldiers from 82 Division arrived at the compound around 8 a.m., using as a decoy a young woman who pretended to be pregnant and looking for a nurse to abort the pregnancy. When the operator of the baby factory answered the door, she was rushed by soldiers hiding inside a tinted bus. Our correspondent learned that the soldiers drew their weapons as they stormed out of their parked bus.

After gaining entry into the heavily secured facility, the soldiers found a mini-clinic and several young women at various stages of pregnancy.

Three of the women were within five days of delivery at the time of the rescue.

A source said the operator of the factory sold each baby for between N300,000 and N400,000.

| credits: File copy


[size=18pt]The Lagos State Police Command has arrested five men for allegedly exhuming corpses and selling their parts for ritual purposes.

According to police authorities, the suspects –, Jamiu Adeleke, Ajibade Rafiu, Fatai Akiwowo, Kazeem Sanni and Agboola Kolawole – had at different times sold human parts in Owode, Ogun State.[/size]

The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ngozi Braide, said Adeleke was arrested by the police and through his confession, were able to apprehend the others.

She said, “On May 15, 2013, Adeleke was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad while he was trying to sell human hands for N21,000. Upon interrogation, he confessed that he bought the parts from Sanni at the cost of N6,000.


“Police arrested Sanni and he in turn confessed that the eight hands which he sold belonged to his siblings- his two brothers and sisters. He confessed that he went to their graves and cut off their heads. He confessed that he sold the heads for N8,000 each while he sold the hands for N4,000 each.

“Investigations led to the home of an herbalist, Rafiu, who is also the receiver. He uses the human parts for rituals. In his house, police recovered fresh hands which he claimed was meant for jobs for his customers. We also saw a bottle which he said was crushed human skull mixed in fluid. He said it was for power and he uses it to make medicine for people.”

Braide said investigations showed that prior to his arrest, the herbalist had hired some of the suspects to help him get a living human being at the cost of N40,000.

Braide added that Adeleke, who is an Islamic scholar, however, died while trying to escape from police custody.

The suspects, who did not deny the allegations, said they never killed anyone but only exhumed corpses from graveyards.

Kolawole said he went into the business because he needed money to pay his children’s school fees.

He said, “I am a farmer and I live in a graveyard in Owo, Ogun State. In December last year, I went to see my friend and begged him to lend me money to pay my children’s fees. He then said if I could help him to get human skulls, he would pay me N8,000 for each.

“He came to my house at night and after he had exhumed two of the corpses in the graveyards, he gave me N16,000.

“In May, 2013, I needed money to purchase examination form for my child and I went to meet him again. He said he would give me N16, 000 for two more skulls, so he exhumed two more corpses.”

A 25-year-old suspect, Sanni, who claimed to be a commercial motorcycle rider, said he had only exhumed two corpses, adding that he ran out of the business when his clients started demanding for a human being.

He said, “Akinowo told me to get two skulls for him and I did. He gave me N6,000 and N8,000. He later told me to get a live human being for him but when I could not find one, they started disturbing me with telephone calls. I only sold two skulls.”

The herbalist, Rafiu, said he never exhumed any corpse rather, it was the other suspects that were always pestering him to buy body parts.

Rafiu, who claimed to be 28 years, said he did not use the corpses for money rituals but used it in preparing a potion which people drank for protection.

“I never sent anyone to supply me human parts. They always bring the parts to my place and beg me to buy,” he said.

Asked what was in the bottle recovered from him, he said, “The bottle I am holding contains a burnt and crushed human skull and schnapps. Anybody who drinks it will be immune to all forms of attack. I have been doing this for about seven years now but I have never drunk the potion. I am even scared to use it.

“I have a wife and child and it is this job I use in sustaining myself.”

Another suspect, Akinowo, said poverty pushed him into the illegal business. Akinowo, who spoke amid tears, said he was paid N8,000 for each body part.

Akinowo said in his statement that he cut the heads of his late brothers and two sisters buried in private graves in his compound and sold them for N8,000 each.

[size=14pt]Suspected ritualists behead 16-yr-old girl in Anambra[/size]

AWKA — A 16 year-old Miss Nwanneka Odah was, yesterday, beheaded by a three -man gang suspected to be ritual killers at Nawfia in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

This came as the Awka branch manager of a new generation bank, (name withheld), Mr. Tochukwu Nnadi, was yesterday kidnapped about 7.30am on his way to the office.

Nwanneka was said to be hawking groundnuts along the Nawfia –Awka road close to Nawfia Comprehensive Secondary School when the three young men allegedly pretended as if they wanted to buy groundnuts from her only for one of them to use a machete to cut off her head when she bent down to sell the groundnuts to them.

A relation of the deceased, Mr. Friday Ogalagu described the situation as terrible, lamenting that he had never seen such a thing in his life.

He said: “I was not there when it happened, but I was told that my cousin was stopped by three men who said they wanted to buy groundnuts. While two of them were on the road side, the third, who dressed like a mad man was standing closely.

When the girl bent down to put the ground nuts for them, the one close by brought out what somebody said looked like an axe and beheaded the girl. An Okada rider plying the road who saw what happened stopped and the three men ran into the bush, leaving their victim whose head was already severed, struggling for life.”

Ogalagu said that it was when people began to make inquiries about the parents of the girl that he was contacted.

According to Ogalagu who claimed to be training the girl since childhood, the body had been deposited at the Amaku General Hospital in Awka, while the parents who live in Ebonyi had been contacted.

Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Raphael Uzoigwe, confirmed the incident, saying the matter had been referred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, CID, for investigation.

Banker kidnapped in Awka

A staff in the bank said there had not been any contact with the kidnappers, lamenting that the incident had put fears among bankers.

It was gathered that the abductors waited for their victim in two cars at the Iyiagu area of the capital city with doors of their cars opened and as he drove close to the area, they used one of the cars to block him and dragged him out of his car into their own and drove off.

The State Police Command, however said the matter had not been reported to it at the time of filing the report.

Police spokesman, Mr. Raphael Uzoigwe, told reporters that he had made contacts with the Central Police Station and the B-division in the command, claiming no such case was reported.

[size=14pt]Ritualists kill lunatic, steal son in Anambra[/size]

AWKA—THERE was confusion at the popular Upper Iweka area of Onitsha, yesterday, following the murder of an insane woman by suspected ritualists, who allegedly snatched her five-year-old son.

However, police in Onitsha presented a different version of the incident, saying it was not ritualists that killed the woman, but that she might have slumped and died.

An eyewitness in Onitsha had said the woman was sitting with her son at Upper Iweka, yesterday, when suspected ritualists accosted her and forcefully took her son. The source said she was killed because she put up resistance.

The police have deposited the woman’s body at the Onitsha General Hospital mortuary.

Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Onitsha Central Police Station, Mr. Abdul Yusuf, confirmed the death of a woman, but dismissed the ritualists angle of the story.

According to the DPO, there was no person who saw when the ritualists killed the woman, adding that it was likely that the woman just slumped and died.

He also said nobody confirmed seeing the woman with a boy, but stated that the Police was still investigating the matter. He added that no parts of the woman’s body was removed and the police has not seen anybody or family member who reported the case of a missing boy.

[b]Fraudsters jailed over £20 million credit card scam
Two fraudsters have been jailed over their part in a £20 million credit card scam, after a vigilant retailer became suspicious about online orders placed with his music store and contacted the police.


By Martin Evans

4:13PM GMT 23 July 2015

Nigerians Gboyega Akinbola, 36, and Oyetunde Oyedeji, 31, went on a spending spree worth an estimated £60,000 after buying the credit card details of more than 1,100 people from an international hacking syndicate.

The pair, who had registered as students after arriving in Britain, were only caught when Moss Hills, owner of the Stagebeat music store in Guildford, Surrey, noticed Akinbola's delivery address was different to the one on his card details and became suspicious.

Launching his own investigation he managed to trace an email address for Akinbola, hack into it and uncover evidence of widespread fraud.

He then passed the information onto Surrey Police and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), who launched Operation Prince to smash the international network.

The investigation uncovered a vast scam involving more than 200,000 stolen credit card details and leading to the biggest retrieval of compromised data in UK law enforcement history.

Two of the alleged ringleaders of the conspiracy were later picked up by police at their homes in Egypt and Vietnam.

Jailing Akinbola, from Barking, Essex, for three-and-a-half years and Oyedeji, from Woolwich, south-east London, for two years at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Christopher Hardy said the investigation had uncovered a "shocking hole in the banks' credit system".

It is believed hackers around the world had been able to steal credit card details including passwords from British banks before selling them on to criminals, including the Nigerian pair.

Judge Hardy said Mr Hills should be recognised for his "ingenuity", awarding him £500 reward from the public purse.

He also recommended Akinbola's deportation but made no such order against Oyedeji, who married a woman with UK citizenship and has been given leave to remain as a student.

The court was told that Akinbola also entered the UK as a student and worked as a night time security officer.

He also tried to enter into a sham marriage to secure his status in the country.

Akinbola and Oyedeji pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, admitting the plot totalled around £30,000.

Detectives believe the total figures could be much higher however.

Trevor Pearce, Executive Director of SOCA, said: "As a result of national and international co-operation, SOCA was able to dismantle a worldwide organised crime network dealing in huge quantities of stolen credit card data. This was an excellent operation that resulted in the biggest retrieval of compromised card data in UK law enforcement history."

He was beheaded Midnight on June 13th [that is early morning June 14th 2015] and same thing also happened 3 months ago.

According to Mr Poster, the killers stormed the man's house at 1am and cut off his head. They were about to run away with the head when the man's son suddenly came out and attacked them.

They ran away and abandoned their motorcycle, the man's head and some documents....Peep the man's head when you continue, ***Viewers Discretion Is Strongly Advised***

The said documents are currently with the police and they have refused to disclose who's name is on them.

Wow this is scary, i guess you dont even want to imagine coming outside and seeing your dad's head like that.

Could this be the work of ritualists, enemies or what?

If ritualists now go directly to people's houses we are in trouble....what do you guys think?

ABEOKUTA — A herbalist identified as Chief Dandola Owotomo aka Amuludun Isese has been reportedly caught with human tongue, arm and a woman’s private part in Ijebu North-East Local Government Area of Ogun State.

He was said to be one of the three suspected ritualists arrested by police in the state in connection with the disappearance of a 70-year-old Kehinde Rabiu, who was declared missing at Idode-Imomo in the area.

Vanguard findings revealed that Owotomo,65, was arrested at his residence in Oke Agbo, Ijebu-Igbo in Ijebu North Local Government Area by policemen from Atan Police Division following a tip- off.

A police source from Atan Police Station, who pleaded anonymity, told Vanguard that the man was picked up by policemen after his house was searched where a shrine was uncovered with fresh human parts.

The source further said the police got a tip-off from a member of the Idode-Imomo Community Development Association, CDA, in the area.

It would be recalled that a kidnappers’ den was uncovered in the same area recently after the mysterious disappearance of the aged man which led to the arrest of three suspects.

According to the police source, ”we went to Ijebu-Igbo with the support of the CDA member after we got a tip-off from the people. When we got to the man’s house, it was an eyesore. We discovered a calabash in one of his rooms where a fresh human tongue, human palm and a woman’s private parts were kept in a shrine drenched with blood assumed to be human blood.

“We transferred him to Eleweran on Sunday and the Commissioner of Police has shown much interest in the case and had ordered that investigation should commence into the matter and he has promised to get to the root of the matter.”

When contacted, the police spokesman in Ogun State, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed that some people had been arrested, said he was yet to be briefed on the latest happening.

Meantime, residents of the area have begun deserting their houses to neighbouring towns such as Atan, Eruwon, Odosimadegun and Ijebu-Ode following the fear of kidnappers and ritualists in the area.

Vanguard gathered that the residents believed their lives were no longer safe in the town following the discovery of the underground kidnappers’ den.[/b]

Default Hidden Nigerian culture exposed. Almost unbelievable!


We need legislation to eradicate rituals, cannibalism - Erelu Lola Ayonrinde -Raises posers on Oba Funso Adeolu's corpse

Erelu Tunwase AyonrindeErelu Tunwase of Ode-Remo, Chief Lola Ayonrinde, who is the Otun Iyalode of Shomolu and Lagos District, and also the Yeye Akinrogun of Ikeji-Ile Ijesa was twice Mayor of the London Borough of Wandsworth. She talks to AYO-LAWAL GBENOBA on her campaign against human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. Excerpts:

WHAT is your campaign all about?
The �Say No To Cannibalism In Nigeria' campaign is aimed towards eradicating the ancient and obnoxious practice of mutilating the bodies of traditional rulers after death. The rituals and sacrifices parts of the body of a dead king, especially in Western Nigeria, are used for are barbaric and a disgrace to the country in this 21st century. The movement is out to stop these evil practices which are not in consonant with the will of God and against the fundamental human rights of the affected traditional rulers. When a king dies, they say they have to give his heart to his successor on the throne to eat. They explained that it will make the new king strong and courageous but, is that not deceit? How can eating somebody's flesh give courage to another person? They mutilate the remains of these kings and engage in fetish and obnoxious activities which add no value to anybody or the society in general.


Why do you need to feed an incoming royal father with the heart of a dead one? This cannibalism started with Christopher Colombus who believed that when a king ate the heart, or some other parts of a dead ruler, some major attributes of the dead was transferred to the new king. This is sheer cannibalism and has no place with God. And, I want the chiefs, the traditional rulers themselves and other stakeholders to know that any tradition that does not recognise God is doomed. The government must put a stop to this cannibalism going on in some parts of Nigeria because, it is even against the constitution of Nigeria. Section 38 subsection 1 of the Nigerian constitution gives every citizen the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, while section 17 subsection 26 declares that the sanctity of the human person shall be recognised and human dignity shall be maintained and enhanced. Where is the sanctity of the human person in all these? Where is human dignity?


What motivated this campaign?
I was very close to the late Alaye of Ode-Remo, Oba Funso Adeolu, the popular Chief Eleyinmi of the rested Village Headmaster soap opera. Few months after his death on August 21, 2008, he started appearing to me and I had months of traumatic haunting. In his lifetime, Oba Adeolu was a Christian and he made it known that he did not partake in anything fetish during his installation as king. He explicitly, several times, demanded that when death came calling, his corpse should be handed over to his family so that he could be given a proper Christian burial. However, his corpse was not released to the family. After his death, he appeared to me several times, and kept telling me about many things. He said his corpse was handed over to the �odis' (slaves) who treated it like that of a criminal. They took bits and pieces of his remains for their own use while some parts were distributed to the four corners of the town.


It was while going round that I discovered what happened and I met some chiefs who confessed what happened but asked me to forget it because there was nothing we could do about it.


All the �odus' of Ifa do not approve using human beings as sacrifice, the constitution does not approve and to crown it all, God Almighty frowns at this practice, they are doing it to appease whom? Some of the kings today are enlightened and those who are born again Christians, like Oba Adeolu, are renouncing these things. So, why hold on to an obnoxious and barbaric act? Oba Adeolu believed he would be given a decent burial and that is why his ghost has refused to rest. Even in Ijebuland, these things were abolished years ago and Ijebuland under the Awujale agreed they would bury kings according to their religion.


So, how do you hope to stop the practice?
We are canvassing that our traditional rulers should be buried whole, without being mutilated and it should be in the open. There is secrecy because of the evils attached. It is untenable scientifically that the heart is eaten for so and so reasons. To start with, let us have the installation of kings in the open, no aspect of the installation should be shrouded in secrecy. It should be a celebration of our culture so, why should it be shrouded in secrecy? When everything becomes transparent, it will even help younger ones to know more about our culture and we will be able to restore some of our societal values. Why should obas be laid to rest in a paganic manner? If a governor gives staff of office to a king, giving him recognition and authority, that king is under the governor so, why should the government condone barbarism in this age? The ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs should do something about this, if not, the government is endorsing cannibalism. True that some of the kings went through these rituals during installation but those who opted out should be given that grace of opting out of the rituals in death. They should be buried according to their faith. The practice is a disgrace to the whole of South West because it is common there.


We are appealing to the traditional rulers who were installed through cannibalism to renounce it publicly and declare they don't want their hearts to be eaten or other parts of their bodies to be used for any form of ritual. Abolition of slave trade took place years ago. So, why do we still have some people in Ode calling themselves slaves (�odis')? We need legislation to stop the barbaric act and we are appealing to our lawmakers to rise up to this task of eradicating cannibalism in Nigeria. There should be a law backing a king to opt out of fetish installation and burial and it should become an offence for anyone to tamper with the remains of a king, for whatever purpose, or to give the body to the �odi' for rituals. The penalty should be without an option of fine so that the perpetrators would know how grave the offence is. The �odi' in Ode can be given money to buy goat, ram, cow, or whatever they need for sacrifice, if they must, but there must be total abolition of human sacrifice in the country. Efforts are being made by some Ogun State traditional rulers to stop it but some feel the fetish practice must be protected. The government must detach itself from it.


Internationally, human sacrifice, cannibalism, witchcraft and sorcery are illegal so, why should it be done with impunity in Nigeria, a country that is known as the giant of Africa? Infact, politicians should begin to include the abolition of cannibalism in their campaign programmes, and party manifestos by 2010.


What efforts have you made so far to network and get people involved?
We give glory to Almighty God. I have spoken to so many kings who secretly don't want it and we are telling them that they should make an open declaration against these evil practices. The campaign would be boosted if they do because people believe they all knew and agreed to these evil practices before being installed. We now call on the royal fathers again, in the name of Almighty God, to declare publicly that they don't want these fetish practices to continue. I have carried the campaign to the international level so that Nigerians of affluence who are in diaspora would lobby the lawmakers and get a legal backing for the campaign to eradicate human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. A number of international media like the BBC have aired my interview on the campaign and some Nigerian people abroad are involved in the lobbying for a legislation to stop the obnoxious practices.


We call on the �oluwos' and �odis' in Ode to review the entrenched ill that has no value to the society. We appeal to them to accept cows and goats and allow our royal fathers to be buried according to their beliefs. Then, it was about time that the royal fathers are constituted into the House of Royals, like the House of Lords, so that they would have more power, say and patnership in governance. This would help them to contribute meaningfully to issues affecting them and the society at large.

[size=15pt]Igbo Ritualist, 2 Others Arrested With Fetish Materials[/size]

Police detectives in Asaba, Delta State, have arrested a suspected ritualist and two others for allegedly abducting two teenagers Ifunaya Onyia and Boniface Miracle, both 13-year-old natives of Onitsha, Anambra State.

The alleged ritualist, identified as Chijioke Okonkwo, it was reliably gathered, had abducted the girls while they were walking along the Delta State Broadcasting Service Road, to an uncompleted building in the area where he attempted to use them for rituals.

Narrating their ordeal, the victims said: “We were lured by him [Chijioke Okonkwo] from Onitsha where we were selling pure water; he has a store where he sells provision and other materials at the Onitsha Main Market. He said he wanted us to be his sales girls”.

The girls said Okonkwo took them to an uncompleted building behind the bush path around the Broadcasting Service Road, where he allegedly used white powder to rub their faces and chanted incantations, while the other two suspects stood guard some ways off. The girls disclosed that when he was about to slaughter them, some passers-by raised the alarm and rushed to the scene, holding him down while they went to get the police.

Speaking to LEADERSHIP Friday, the public relations officer of the state police command, DSP Celestina Kalu, confirmed the arrest of the suspect and assured the public that no stone will be left unturned this festive period to bring all forms of criminals to book, disclosing that the police discovered some fetish items in calabashes and different concoctions from the other suspects.

Kalu, however, revealed that, upon interrogation, the trio confessed to the crime but insisted that they were no ritualists but were only trying to get the girls to go help out with the house chores of a woman who suffered a fatal accident in Okija, Anambra State

Metro [size=18pt]Human Spare Parts 'Market' Uncovered in Ogun State[/size]

[b]Discussion in 'Metro News' started by Lequte, Jun 18, 2015.

Nigeria - The Ogun state police has uncovered a ritualist den in Ode Remo where human parts were being sold and eaten by some people suspected to be ritualists, Daily Times says.

Yoruba Susupected-Ritualist.

The discovery by the police, also led to the arrest of five suspects. At the shrine, decomposing body parts suspected to be that of a missing female student of Science Laboratory Technology department at Gateway Polytechnic, Saapade, Morenikeji Owolabi, were found dismembered.

Speaking at Eposo area of Ode Remo, the state Commissioner of Police, Val Ntomchukwu, said the prime suspect, who is a herbalist identified as Femi Awise, is still at large.

Ntomchukwu disclosed that five suspects, including a commercial motorcyclist that conveyed the victim to the scene, have been arrested and would be arraigned in court upon the completion of police investigation.

The suspects, who were detained at the Divisional Police Headquarters, Isara-Remo, include Adeyemi Ademolu, 29, Lateef Ali, 23, Dare Akinyemi, 22, Wasiu Sotola, 23 and Taiwo Omolaso, 22.

Human flesh that were butchered into pieces and apparently cooked were seen in one black pot, while the right limb of the victim was seen in a nearby shallow grave.

The stench oozing from the place did not stop scores of people in the town and its environs to throng the shrine to catch a glimpse of the police discovery.

“What we want to tell the public is that they should monitor the movement of their wards and children, especially when they are left in school and other public institutions. They should always keep watch over their children, call them regularly and where they don’t see them, they should quickly report to the police.” Ntomchukwu said.

[b]Photo: Human parts syndicate busted in Lagos

[size=14pt]Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja, Lagos have smashed a syndicate that specialize in selling human parts, Vanguard reports.
The 3 suspects whose names were given as Mustapha Muritala, Sunday Oluyeba and Adenike Olanrewaju, were arrested at the Ojumerin area of Sagamu, Ogun State following a tip off. Recovered from the suspects were two human skulls suspected to have been procured from a graveyard.[/size]

When interrogated, one of the suspects, 42 year old Herbalist Mustapha Murtala, said he ventured into the business two years ago following an offer of N30,000 for a human skull. Continue...


"I am a herbalist from Sagamu, Ogun State. I was introduced to human parts business by one Sunday Oluyeba I knew through my friends, Olanipekun and Kazim, three years ago. My friends asked me to get native birds called eyeoshi and eyeoke, and I succeeded in getting them. They later came and requested a human head with an offer of N30,000. They said they wanted to use it to prepare concoction for a pregnant woman in labour . They told me they also use human parts to prepare concoction for women who have difficulty in getting pregnant. What they do is to grind the human skull, mix it with water and give to the woman to drink. Such concoction cleanses the stomach, after which she would become pregnant. Sunday brought the human head and I paid him N15,000 for it. This is the second time I am buying a human skull from him. I do not know where he got them from.”
Recounting how he was arrested, Mustapha said
“I was going about my herbal business when a man came and demanded human skull. As I handed the nylon where I kept it to him, some men I later discovered to be policemen swooped on me. I have never killed anyone in my life.” he said
After his arrest, he was made to put a call across to his partner in crime, Oluyeba, demanding a human head. Oluyeba, who was indisposed, instructed one of his herbalist friends, Baba Beji, to go for the supply. He was arrested when he got there.

Further investigations by police led to the arrest of another suspect in Sagamu. The suspect, Juwon Olarewaju, another herbalist, reportedly fled on sighting policemen and his wife, Mrs Olarewaju was arrested instead.

34 year old Mrs Olarewaju, said she was shocked to find out her husband was involved in such a trade. She said;
“I have been married to Juwon for five years and we have two children. My husband is a herbalist but I didn’t know he was dealing in human parts. I was arrested in my house at about 2am over the weekend. I swear, I didn’t know anything about all these. I was arrested because my husband whom they came to arrest ran away. These people implicated my husband in the matter; they said my husband supplied them with a human head.” she said
Police say the suspects will soon be charged to court.

[size=14pt]Yet Again, Shocking discoveries as another Igbo ritualists' den uncovered in Lagos[/size]


The dark world of a ritualists' den was EXPOSED in Lagos Friday.

It was a lucky day for eight ritual victims as they were freed from the stronghold of their captors.

It was the day of reckoning for the group of human blood suckers as kidnap of innocent seven year old, Emeka Chukwu, finally gave them out.

yesterday, uncovered at Ogolonto area of Ikorodu Lagos, with at least eight victims, said to have been kidnapped from different parts of the country, rescued.

The creepy world of the riualists came apart when woman identified as Mrs Rosemary Chukwu, who resides at 33, Omologede Street, behind C&S Primary School, allegedly abducted a seven-year‑old primary school pupil, Emmanuel Emeka, on his way to fetch water from a public well at about 6.30 a.m.

According to accounts, Chukwu had kept the boy inside her toilet where she tried different ways to hide the boy away.

According to an account, she had feigned to be in a prayer session with her four children in apparent ensure to prevent her co-tenants from hearing the abducted boy's cry for help.

It was learnt that when Emmanual's mother waited for him and for a reasonable time and he did not return, sh raised the alarm, which attracted the neighbourhood who joined in desperate search for the missing boy.

Mrs Chukwu was reportedly among the early callers who even suggested areas where the search party could search for the missing boy.

But what raised thee suspicion on her was some persons had earlier sighted with a suitcase on her head, accompanied by her children.

It made people suspect her because it unusual for women to own suitcase.

This made the area boys in that area to s follow force a search in her residence.

They followed her to 319, Lagos Road, Ikorodu, where the church is situated, where they saw her pastor waiting for her. But on sighting the crowd, he took to his heels.

“But for the arrival of Policemen from Owutu division, the woman would have been lynched. The angry mob also attempted to set the church ablaze but were also prevented by the policemen. They, however, succeeded in torching some parts of the property.”

Through the search, Emmanuel was recovered from his kidnapper – Mrs Chukwu, which led to more inquisition and subsequent actions that established the connection. .

This led to the discovery of another building, located at 7, Oshodi Street, alleged to be used for ritual purposes by one Pastor Ernest Nwankwo was discovered.

The building was behind the church. It was gathered that some miscreants uncovered the building while they were chasing the fleeing pastor.

The mob was said to have forced some apartments in the building open, where they found an undisclosed number of persons in chains.

The victims were said to have recounted how they were kidnapped from Anambra, Bayelsa, Ogun and Oyo states at different times. One of them, according to eye witnesses, who pleaded anonymity, said she was kidnapped 11 years ago.

One of the victims, a 52-year‑old man, who identified himself simply as Onwurah, alleged that his wife had a hand in his kidnap, saying he had spent two years in the enclave. . He said he used to be a commercial bus driver before he was abducted and brought to Lagos.

The man said he could not join others to escape because the key to his chain could not be found. When he was asked if Pastor Ernest was responsible for his abduction, he charged at him, saying: “Do not call him a pastor. He is not. He is a killer and a ritualist.”


One of the victims is a woman aged about 50 who said she was kidnapped along the Lagos/Ibadan expressway while returning from a vigil, according to eyewitness accounts.

The rest were males, which looked malnourished with sunken eyes- telltales of long period of incarceration.

According to local residents, “some 'Ghana must go' bags of currencies were recovered, some of which had been looted by the area boys.

there were bloodstains around the building and a particular apartment where those alleged to be in chains were kept.

A report said there were also bowls of blood, ostensibly drained from the ritualists victims.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, could not be immediately reached for confirmation but police sources confirmed that the female suspect was in Police custody and that the seven-year‑old boy Emmanuel had been taken to a hospital, while Pastor Ernest Nwankwo was said to be on the run.

[size=14pt] My Ordeal in the den of Igbo ritualists-Man tells his story [/size]

Eze Obasi is a motor mechanic from Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State. He resides at Oraifite Street, but has his workshop on Aku Street, all at the Ogui New Layout of the Coal City.

That fateful Sunday in April, Eze had dressed up and was set to go for a child dedication with one of his friends but never had any inkling that he was heading for an encounter with the devil.

By the time he got to Aku Street, he could not find his friend. He then decided to cross over to Edinburgh Roundabout to recharge his phone and call him. He never made that call. Rather, he found himself on a journey into a thick bush at Akokwa, Ideato Local Government Area of Imo State, where he was to be offered to the gods as sacrifice.



Two months after the traumatic experience from which God saved him, Eze is still in shock and has found it difficult to believe that he could have died three months ago. The following is Eze Obasi’s story as told by him.

“It was a Sunday and I came out at the popular Edinburgh Roundabout, (the home of newspapers and vendors) in central Enugu and I saw one man who told me he was looking for a mechanic that would help fix his car. I told him I am a mechanic and requested to know where the vehicle was. He said it was parked at the WTC junction nearby, so I went and brought some tools and followed him.
“By the time we got there, I discovered that there were four young men. I opened the bonnet of the car, a Mercedes Benz V-Boot, which was bearing a government number plate. I stood in front of the bonnet and by then all the four men were by my side. I asked them what was wrong with the car and they said it wasn’t starting, so I bent over to check the engine.
“In the split of a second, I discovered that a substance had been blown into my face and had entered my eyes. I screamed ‘my eyes oh’! And just as I struggled to regain balance and clear my face, the men guided me into the car, which sped off. Before we got to the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, UNEC, gate, I was already feeling sleepy and soon slept off.
“When I regained consciousness, I discovered that I was in a bush and it was later that I found out that I had been taken to somewhere in Akokwa, in the Ideato area of Imo State. I was very weak but was able to notice a group of young men inside a room nearby. It was then I said some prayers telling God that I only tried to help people in need and that in my town such gesture does not attract curse or condemnation.
“About an hour later, it was very dark and noise started coming from the room and a red curtain on the door began to shake. Suddenly someone came from behind the curtains holding something like a bottle that had a blinking light. He ran the light through my body from head to toe and went back. When he got close to the curtain, he asked who brought me to that place. He turned round and used the bottle to hit me and immediately I regained full consciousness. But as I tried to get up, I realized that I was tied to a bench. Three of them came forward and untied me and led me through the bush to a point where the men touched me and immediately disappeared and I started struggling on my own to find a way out of the bush.
“It was very late by the time I got to the main road. I didn’t know where I was but I continued moving until I saw a woman. I asked her where that place was and she said it’s Akokwa in Imo State and asked who brought me to that place. I told her my story and she directed me to go straight on till I got to a junction. She said one of the roads leads to Aba-Port Harcourt road and that the other leads to Arondizuogu, while the third leads to Nnewi. She advised me to take the route towards Nnewi that I would see a vehicle that would take me to Anambra.
“I told her that I didn’t have any money on me and she brought out N500 and gave to me. I asked her how I would see her again to return her money and the woman asked me to go first; that I didn’t realize what God had done for me.
“I boarded a vehicle and in the bus I narrated my story. The driver who took me to Anambra did not take a dime from me. I only paid a fare from Anambra to Enugu. And from New Market where the bus dropped me at about 12 midnight, I found my way back to my house at Oraifite Street.”


It wasn’t the end of his ordeal.

Weeks after the ugly experience, Eze continued to hear strange voices and noise similar to the ones he heard coming from the mysterious house in the bush he was taken to at night.

“After narrating my story to people, I continued to hear those strange noises and languages which I didn’t understand. It always happened when I was alone. There was a language they were speaking there which I didn’t understand. So, it kept reverberating until my colleagues took me to a prayer house for prayers and thanksgiving, since then I stopped hearing the strange voices and noises .”

It was difficult for Eze to recall what those voices were saying. The only thing he remembered was the voice that said ‘young man, go! go! go!’

He recalled that after some incantations that the man who appeared to be their leader chanted, he said they brought the wrong person and that he should therefore, be taken away immediately.

Describing the scenario inside the bush, Eze noted that a house was built there probably for ritual purposes. He said it has a red curtain and the ritualists wore blue uniforms. He described the room as a large one with members whom, he said, tied pieces of clothing round their heads with a cross on their foreheads. They were about 18 in number.

[size=14pt]Ndi Igbo - Man slaughters niece for ritual:[/size]

an slaughters niece for ritual:

Thirty five-year old Boniface Ohakwe is now cooling his heels in police custody for allegedly killing his 12-year old niece, Miss Kelechi Ohakwe, for ritual intents.Vanguard investigations revealed that until her untimely death, late Kelechi was a student of Sir Enoch Anyanwu Memorial Convent, Umuariam, Obowo local council area of Imo State.Confirming the ugly incident to newsmen when they besieged the Umuosochie, Obowo country home of the bereaved family, Kelechi’s father, Mr. Alex Ohakwe, said he lacked words to amply describe what the entire family was passing through.“I am aware that Kelechi was very fond of his uncle and was ever read to run errands for him before this incident. It is baffling that it was the same man my daughter loved and helped that ended up killing her for supposed ritual purposes”, the aggrieved man lamented.Recalling what happened on the ill-fated day, Mr. Ohakwe said: “My children moved into my brother’s room as soon as public power supply was restored. I was told that he started smoking midway into the film he was rolling for the children”.

Continuing, Ohakwe recalled that not being comfortable with the smoke, my son and daughter left the room, while Kelechi who was used to her uncle’s behaviour remained behind.
“My brother then locked his door after the two children left his room. The wailing and shouting for help, attracted the attention of my wife and other members of the family and they rushed to the scene”, Ohakwe recounted with grief.Continuing, Ohakwe said his brother carefully wrapped the slain Kelechi with his bed sheet and started chasing his wife with a cutlass but was overpowered.
Answering another question, Ohakwe said the matter was not only reported to the police but that the assailant was equally handed over to law enforcement agents.
Efforts to get police confirmation of the incident ailed as the Police Public Elations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, did not pick the calls put across to him or returned any, as at the time of going to press.

Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30; Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31; Olusegun Seyi Shonekan, 33; Taofeeq Olamilekan Oyelade, 30; Olufemi Obaro Omoraka, 26; and Anuoluwapo Segun Adegbemigun, 39, are charged along with 15 others in an Oct. 7, 2014, indictment with conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to commit identity theft, use of unauthorized account access devices, theft of U.S. government funds and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charges stem from the defendants alleged participation in numerous Internet-based complex financial fraud schemes, including romance scams, re-shipping scams, fraudulent check scams and work-at-home scams, as well as bank, financial and credit card account takeovers.

According to the allegations in the indictment, from as early as 2001, the defendants identified and solicited potential victims through online dating websites and work-at-home opportunities. In some instances, the defendants allegedly carried on fictitious online romantic relationships with victims for the purpose of using the victims to further certain objectives of the conspiracy. For example, the indictment alleges that the defendants convinced victims to ship and receive merchandise purchased with stolen personal identifying information (PII) and compromised credit card and banking information, to deposit counterfeit checks, and to transfer proceeds of the conspiracy via wire, U.S. mail or express delivery services.

To date, defendants Teslim Olarewaju Kiriji, 30; Olutoyin Ogunlade, 41; and Dennis Brian Ladden, 75, have been convicted of offenses relating to their roles in the schemes. Defendants Susan Anne Villeneuve, 49; and Genoveva Farfan, 45; Sesan Olumide Farin, 40; Femi Alexander Mewase, 44; Rhulane Fionah Hlungwane, 24; and Adekunle Adefila, 40, are awaiting trial. The United States is seeking extradition from Nigeria of defendants Kayode Bamidele, Ajayi Oluwaseyi Stephen and Emmanuel Adeniyi Osokomaiya. Defendants Gabriel Oludare Adeniran and Oduntan Sikiru Lawani remain fugitives.

The charges and allegations in the indictment are merely accusations. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

This case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Significant assistance was also provided by the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs, the HSI Cyber Crimes Center, HSI Attachés in Pretoria and Dakar, U.S. Marshals Service’s International Investigations Branch and the Southern District of Mississippi, the South African Police Service (SAPS) Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigation (DPCI) Electronic Crimes Unit, the SAPS Interpol Extradition Unit, the South African National Prosecution Authority, and the South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Robert Tully of the Criminal Division’s Organized Crime Gang Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Annette Williams and Scott Gilbert of the Southern District of Mississippi.
