MINNA—Three people including the paternal grandmother have been
arrested by the Niger State police command for slaughtering a 9-year-
old boy and using the body to prepare peper soup delicacy.
The incidence happened in Koso village in Lavun Local Government Area
of Niger State.
Commissioner of Police, Niger State Command, Mr. Olusola Amore, told
newsmen that the family of the late boy had reported Liman Doo
Mohammed’s mysterious disappearance to the police on the 9th of last
month.
However, another report hinted the police that they should beam their
search light on the paternal grandmother of the deceased, because he
was last seen in her company.
He said based on this vital information, detectives were put on red alert
to closely monitor the grandmother called Fatima Sarki’s movement.
Also arrested with her were other relations suspected to be her
collaborators.
Amore said on interrogation, the grandmother confessed to have been
involved in the dastardly act and mentioned one Zhitsu Aliyu whom she
said actually slaughtered the boy.
Another accomplice mentioned was one Amina Musa, who was accused
of helping to cook the boy’s remains.
All the suspects have been charged to court on a three count charge of
criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and cannibalism.
According to the Commissioner, ”The pots and plates the suspects used
in cooking and serving themselves with the said cooked human flesh
were recovered and are now exhibits.”
The Commissioner revealed that between the months of August and
September this year, a total of 65 raids were carried out within the state
and a total of 182 suspects were arrested.
According to him, 39 of them were released after interrogation while 143
have already been charged to court for various offences.
He called on people of the state to join hands with him in waging total
war against crime and criminals in the state.
