The Police in Abia State have arrested a man, Emmanuel Effiong, who
said he beheaded a woman in order to prevent himself from running mad.
Effiong, who pleaded guilty in an interview with newsmen in Aba
during his parade by the Abia Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade,
said he beheaded the woman in the night and threw her head into the Aba
River.
He said a spiritualist had advised him to perform the act as a sacrifice to avert an imminent danger of running mad.
Oyebade also paraded three final-year undergraduates of a tertiary
institution, who admitted that they were members of a six-man gang which
allegedly dispossessed somebody of a Toyota Highlander Jeep in Umuahia
on October 10.
One of the suspects, Chimezie Chukwu, 24, told newsmen that the
gang specialised in car-snatching and that the incident, which led to
their arrest, was his third experience.
Besides the Highlander, a Mercedes Benz with registration number AG 467 NEM was also recovered from the suspects.
Other items recovered are one AK-47 rifle with two magazines
containing 31 rounds of live ammunition and one locally-made revolver
pistol with four rounds of live ammunition, among others.
Oyebade, who expressed concerns over the rising cases of crime and
criminality in Abia involving undergraduates, restated the commitment of
the command to check the phenomenon.
