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 pepper 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.”
