The Nigeria Police, Enugu state command, has cleared the air over a news report that a lady killed in a hotel at Nsukka had her vital parts harvested.

Making clarifications on the report, spokesman of the command, Daniel Ndukwe, said a lady actually died in a hotel but that she was strangled and her body was intact when it was discovered, saying no sign of mutilation or organ harvesting for ritual purposes was found.

“The Enugu state police command wishes to refute the viral report alleging that a young woman was murdered in a hotel in Nsukka and her vital organs harvested in a suspected ritual killing. 

“The report is false, misleading, and capable of inciting unnecessary panic.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that the remains of the deceased woman were found intact, without any indication of mutilation or organ harvesting, as widely speculated. 

“Evidence suggests she may have been strangled, as her body was discovered with bloodstains around her mouth and a swollen neck,” the statement explained.
