Human Parts Dealers Nabbed With Body Part In Delta State (See Photo)

Police detectives attached to the Delta State

Police Command, Asaba, have arrested four

persons, including two native doctors over

alleged human parts sale within Issele-Azagba,

Asaba and its environs.

The arrest of the suspects, the state’s police

spokesperson Mrs. Celestina Kalu, said, was made

possible when the security operatives acted on a

tip-off via a petition forwarded to the command.

The human parts dealers were caught with the

hand of a man cut off from his body.

The human part was found in the boot of the

suspects’ vehicle on their way to the eastern part

of Nigeria.

Mrs Kalu said security operatives were on a stop-

and-search on the suspects when they found the

human hand in their boot in a sack of bag,

adding that the suspects were currently

undergoing interrogation.

Explaining that other suspects within the area

fled on sighting the police, Mrs Kalu said, “It is

true that we arrested four persons and two

native doctors with human parts, but we are

interrogating them with the exhibit we recovered

from them in the vehicle. They were travelling to

the eastern part.”

The state police spokespersons said the gang’s

leader identified as Samson (surname withheld),

confessed that they sold human parts to native

doctors, who often lodged into a hotel behind

stadium in Asaba.

Investigations had revealed that the sale of

human parts were made possible with mortuary

workers.
