Security operatives arrest herbalist in possession of 11 human bones in Anambra

Anambra State security officials have detained a herbalist known only as Ezekiel, who was found to be in possession of roughly eleven distinct human bones. 

The suspect, who lives in Neni, Anaocha Local Government Area, Anambra State, was reportedly detained over the weekend by security personnel. 

The suspect is originally from Ezza in Ebonyi State. A video that is currently viral on social media claims that security personnel searched the suspect's home after receiving a report from whistleblowers about questionable activity they saw there. 

Additionally, bones from various human parts found during the raid at the suspect's home were shown on the film.

One of the interrogators and a security personnel who arrested the suspect were seen on camera cautioning the public to always ask questions and exercise extreme caution when it comes to the kind of people they let into their homes or rent out their apartments, as well as the things their tenants do there. 

He expressed his gratitude to the informant who provided them with the details needed to launch the arrest of the culprit. 

He also asked everyone to always be aware of security issues and to speak up if they notice or suspect any strange or suspicious activity because everyone has a stake in maintaining public safety.

When reached on Monday, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, the public relations officer for the Anambra State Police, who also verified the footage, revealed that the culprit was stopped by patrolling police officers and vigilantes from the Neni Division.

“The suspect is currently in custody and undergoing interrogation. Further details on that will be communicated,” Ikenga added.
