Human Parts Litter Ritualists’ Den
By Jude Orji/Enugu
An evil forest where suspected ritualists dismember their victims has been discovered in Enugu State.
Dismembered parts of victims of ritual killing in Enugu State.
The forest is located at Inyi, Enugu-Ezike in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State. When it was searched, fresh and decomposing human parts were found all over the place but with some vital parts missing.
The scene is reminiscent of the gory findings at the Okija Shrine in Anambra State in 2004.
P.M.News investigations revealed that majority of the victims were taken to the forest and butchered by the suspected ritualists who then remove the vital parts needed for moneymaking ritual.
Many prominent residents of Enugu and environs were said to be patrons of herbalists and native doctors who perform rituals in the forest.
Inyi Enugu-Ezike is also said to be known as a home for dreaded commercial native doctors and ritualists in Nsukka cultural zone, Enugu.
What is, however, baffling to most residents of the town is the alleged involvement of some policemen in the notorious trade in human parts.
A policeman (name withheld), an indigene of Inyi Enugu-Ezike is said to be the godfather of the ritualists and armed robbers terrorising the town and Enugu-Makurdi Road.
P.M.News gathered that the policeman is so powerful in the town that he is regarded as untouchable because he procures powerful native charms and amulets for top police officers, businessmen and politicians across the country.
And to stem the spate of kidnappers, ritual murders and killings in the town, residents have petitioned the state government to take over the large expanse of land belonging to the village shrine Ogene Mmili.
They also demanded punishment for the perpetrators of the dastardly act.
They listed those kidnapped and killed in the town as Miss Eucharia Abugu Eya, 20. She was abducted on the street and later found dead in the evil forest with some parts of her body missing.
Others are Miss Gloria Ugwueke, 35 and Caroline Odo Eje, a widow with seven children who lived near the Inyi police post.
She was on her way to see her aged mother when she was seized by the ritualists and taken to the evil forest where her body was dismembered.
Her leg was later discovered in a shallow grave without other parts.
But the murder of Miss Edith Ijeoma Onu Ossai, 26, last month led to a wide protest in the town by more than 3000 women who demanded an end to the ritual killings.
The body of the late Edith who was on her way to Edumoga Umuogbo Inyi was found mangled near Inyi health centre.
Edith’s heart, kidney and private parts were removed by the ritual killers. Various parts of the victim were buried in different places.
P.M.News learnt that burying parts of the victim separately would keep her spirit divided and prevent her from going after her killers.
It was gathered that Edith’s mother became mad after seeing the dismembered parts of her daughter.
The protesting women led by Mrs. Theresa Mary Daya, Mrs. Mary Abugu, Ugwu Stella Chinello, Alomona Agnes and Mrs. Josephine Ojobor, said they have no choice but to raise an alarm since the efforts of their men have failed.
A source at the Igbo Eze North Divisional Police Headquarters said the police were on the trail of the ritualists.
He disclosed that the matter was being investigated by the D4 section of the Homicide Department, State CID, Enugu
