The Police have arrested a middle-aged man in Anambra State who has confessed to raping, killing and butchering human parts of his female victims for sale and for ritual purposes in order to get rich.

The man, simply identified as John, who is being held at the State Criminal Investigative Department (SCID) Awka, along with his three friends now at large, allegedly lure female victims, raped them, dismember the bodies especially cutting cut out their “two breasts and private parts” which are in hot demand.

The suspect has already told investigators at SCID Awka that the severed body parts were either sold to customers who pay in cash or use them for rituals.

When asked what he does with the money obtained from such act, he wasn’t certain but stated that “I’ll always get females to kill amongst among other horrible things we do after killing my victims.”

A source at the SCID said “the Police is working on the details of the number of females and others who have been killed by the gang, the number of culprits involved, their customers and all those connected with the raping, killing and dismembering body parts. We are going to get into the bottom of this?”

By Gloria Akudoro   The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has launched the Zamfara State Electricity Policy alongside two commissioned solar plants of 2.5MW capacity to boost electricity supply.  Tegbe also broke foundation for 36 solar minigrids across nine local government areas, projects expected to power nearly 147,000 homes and businesses upon completion.   Speaking in Gusau alongside Governor Dauda Lawal, the Managing Director of Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, Development Partners, and Traditional and Community Leaders, the Minister credited the initiatives to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.  "The initiatives put the Renewed Hope Agenda into practice by “turning reform and investment into better public services, cleaner transport and more dependable electricity for homes and businesses,” he said.  The commissioned plants are a 1MW mini grid / 2.4MW BESS at the Ahmed Sani Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, which will help doctors operate with greater confidence and preserve essential medicines, and a 1.5MW / 3.6MW BESS for the Government House and its auxiliary facilities which will eliminate dependence on diesel based power generation.   Of the mini grids, the interconnected projects in Gusau and Kaura Namoda will improve supply on the existing distribution network, while the other 34 will serve communities beyond the grid’s present reach.  Zamtaxi, also unveiled, opens opportunities for drivers, technicians and young entrepreneurs in cleaner transport.   According to the statement on Wednesday by the Federal Ministry of Power, Tegbe credited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose assent to the Electricity Act 2023 created greater room for states and investors to participate in the sector. He pledged the Ministry’s support “to translate this policy into effective institutions and improved service.”   The Minister, while congratulating Zamfara on 30 years of statehood,  urged host communities to protect the assets as their own and to report vandalism and theft promptly.  He also commended the Executive Governor for driving and sponsoring the two (2) commissioned minigrid projects amongst other solar powered projects in the state, including solar power for 15 general hospitals 800 schools and 70 Primary Health Care facilities.   The Zamfara 36 minigrid projects form part of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda drive to bring electricity to all Nigerians. Alongside strengthening the national grid, the Federal Government is expanding solar power and other viable sources, bringing supply closer to demand and reaching communities previously without access.  For Zamfara, that means a more resilient, more diverse electricity system, and dependable power for the homes, hospitals, farms and markets that depend on it.
