The Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta, Operation Delta Safe, says
its troops have discovered 25 human skulls in some militants’ shrines
in Cross River State.
This was revealed by the Coordinator, Joint Media Campaign Centre,
ODS, Lt.-Col. Olaolu Daudu, in a statement on Thursday evening.
Giving more details, the ODS spokesman said on Wednesday, troops of
Sector 4 of the outfit in Cross River, acting on a tip-off, carried out
raids in Ikot Ene Idem, Abakpa and Ikang Inam in Bakassi and Akpabuyo
Local Government Areas of the state.
He said during the cordon-and-search operations, the troops
discovered four militant shrines with 25 human skulls in various stages
of decomposition, a complete human skeleton and several other human body
parts.
Daudu said the shrines were destroyed as troops continued the search for the perpetrators of the heinous acts against humanity.
He said, “With the clearance of these shrines, the Bakassi
Strike Force have effectively been smoked out from the areas they used
to hold sway.
“It should be noted that the senseless killing of humans for
ritual purposes is sacrilegious and will not be tolerated in any form
within the joint operation area.”
Meanwhile, the spokesman said the troops arrested two suspects
while on patrol at Idebe Ifak Anam, Ikot Okon Edem and Abakpa of Bakassi
LGAs Cross River.
He said preliminary investigation revealed that the arrested
suspects were agents of BSF militants who acted as spies for them. The
ODS also said its troops arrested 44 members of the Indigenous Peoples
of Biafra in Bayelsa State.
