Police operatives in Edo have arrested a 27-year-old man with a fresh human head in Benin City.
The spokesman for the state police command, Moses Yamu, told journalists on Saturday that the suspect was arrested by operatives of the Evbuotubu Division in collaboration with local vigilantes in the early hours of Friday.
He added that the suspect led officers to a decapitated body discovered along the road near Eweka Shopping Plaza.
The spokesman said: “The deceased was later identified as 43-year-old Edobor Lawrence of Osagie Street, Evbuotubu Quarters.
“His remains have been taken to a hospital for preservation while investigations continue.”
“The Commissioner of Police in the state, Betty Otimenyin, extended condolences to the victim’s family and assured the public that those involved in the crime would be brought to justice.
“The CP further urged young people to seek legitimate means of livelihood rather than resorting to crime.”
