In the mid-1990s, Imo State, Nigeria, witnessed one of its darkest crime stories ,  the Otokoto ritual killings. This tragic case was not just about a gruesome murder; it exposed how ritual practices, corruption, and greed had deeply rooted themselves in society. The events shook Owerri and left a lasting scar on Nigeria’s history.

The Otokoto ritual killings took place in September 1996 when 11-year-old Anthony Ikechukwu Okoronkwo, a groundnut seller, was lured into the Otokoto Hotel in Owerri. He was promised business opportunities but instead met a horrifying death.

Check source for full story and how it ended. His head was severed, and his body buried ,  part of a ritual killing meant to use human parts for wealth. The Otokoto Hotel was owned by Vincent Duru, a wealthy businessman with strong political connections. The killing was carried out by one of his staff, Innocent Ekeanyanwu, who was arrested while transporting the boy’s head in a polythene bag.

Sadly this ritual killings are a daily occurrence and are largly under reported. A friend of mine who is into construction say, most mansions in the east always has a large pit or secret underground structure in a vast compound.

Let's also see the same in ogun state and other regions that are doing ritual.

armyofone:
The saddest is it is not the ritual that made them rich.

I think those who indulge in ritual - they have undiagnosed Psychosis or psychological issues.

The source of their wealth is not the violence they committed. Nothing special in any human body that can bring you money.

Chimookigwe:
Wait till they do the one on Awkuzu Sars wasted thousands of Igbo youth under Peter Agulu.

They loaded tipper lorries with bodies of slain Igbo youths and dumped it in Ezi River in Anambra.

It is the single biggest massacre of Igbos outside the civil war.

Otokoto.... That should be around amakohia in owerri...You won't recognize the place now! Till tomorrow no one is living there except the stores down stairs.

zoedew:

The whole of that place is a busy hub now. You may not recognize there again. The police quarters there is housing both a mammy market and lock up shops with too many activities. His other son are doing business there as well.

axglide:
May the innocent soul of that boy rest in peace. Know this and know peace that money rituals don’t work.

Chimookigwe:
Don't forget Clifford Orji.

There will still be a story on the Onumadu delicacy of the Ngwa and Aro people which is essentially eating human flesh.

bigcasava1:
And skull mining in ogun state

Switruth:
Progress Bank? Thought that's bank road.

Iykenuwa:
