Police Nab Two Suspects For Eating Body Parts Of Murdered Officers

The Oyo State police command on Saturday said it has apprehended two suspects allegedly linked with the roasting and eating of the flesh of police officers burnt in Ibadan during #EndSARS protest.

The disclosure was made by Police Spokesman at the Oyo State Command, SP Olugbenga Fadeyi, who confirmed the arrests in Ibadan in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The suspects, a 34-year-old expectant mother and a 43-year-old man have been transferred to the Force Intelligence Bureau at the Force Headquarters in Abuja for further investigation, he said.

The 34-year-old woman, who was alleged to have eaten some body parts of one of the police victims, denied the allegation.

She said that while it was true that she was at the scene, she was only given the body parts to keep by the second suspect, the 43-year-old man.

The 43-year-old suspect did not also deny being at the scene of the incident with other hoodlums, but contradicted the confession of his accomplice when he said it was the woman who voluntarily took the body parts and only asked him for a towel or handkerchief to wrap them in.

Eko Hot Blog gathered that the fallen policemen were deployed to contain the #EndSARS protest of Oct. 22, which was hijacked by hoodlums, when they met their deaths.
