A dumpsite has been discovered near Aba, Abia State, where over 20 human
skulls and decomposing bodies, including those of school children were
found. The site, which was a horror to behold was located, at about
kilometre 15 on the Aba/Azumini Highway at an area called “No man’s
land” after Akpaa village in Obingwa Local Government of the state.
The discovery followed the arrest of four policemen attached to the
Federal Highway Patrol unit of the Nigeria Police, Aba Section, who
allegedly killed a 26-year-old man in Aba.The policemen led by their
officer-in-charge, Hyginus Omeze, who were ordered to be detained by the
Area Commander for Aba, Rabiu Dayi were alleged to have murdered one
Onyekachi Chukwu, 26 and dumped his body at the site.
Daily Sun gathered that on Sunday June 23 Onyekachi, who hailed from
Ahaba Imenyi in Isuikwuato Local Government and lived at No. 47 Ukaegbu
Road, went out with his friends to drink in a hotel located on Ekenna
Avenue. After spending the day, Onyekachi was said to have decided to
pass the night in the house of one of his friends residing also in Ogbor
hill.According to a source, as he made to knock at the gate, the
policemen came from nowhere and after beating him, got him arrested. The
cops, who were said to have refused all pleas by people residing in the
neighbourhood, arrested Onyekachi together with the gate man of
the
friend’s house and the caretaker and took them to a hotel on Opobo Road,
Ogbor hill, which also served as their base.On getting to the hotel,
Daily Sun learnt the policemen left the other two men behind in the
hotel and took Onyekachi out in their Toyota Prado SUV and drove towards
Azumini. After about one hour, the policemen were said to have come
back to the hotel without the young man.On getting back to the hotel,
the policemen took the men they earlier left behind and took them back
to where they were earlier arrested and ordered the occupants of the
house to wash their vehicle and contribute money for them to replace the
bullets, which they claimed they had wasted and the people complied
without knowing what the policemen did.The bubble, however, busted when
the relations of Onyekachi, after days of searching for him without
success made formal complaint to the police, who swung into action
immediately and traced their colleagues, who allegedly committed the
dastardly acts to the hotel, where four of them were arrested.
According to Uchechi Chukwu, an elder brother to the deceased, who
believed the young man was killed for rituals, going by the way his body
was dismembered; it was through the effort of the area commander that
the policemen were arrested.Then the arrested policemen, who were said
to have admitted to the crime, took their colleagues to the borrow-pit
along the Aba/Azumini Highway, where they dumped the dismembered body of
Onyekachi. When Daily Sun visited the borrow-pit at “no man’s land,”
where Onyekachi’s body was buried in a shallow grave, the site was a
horror to behold, as several human skulls and decomposing bodies,
including that of school children.Also found in the place included a
piece of iron zinc which surroundings were splattered with blood and
believed to been where Onyekachi was slaughtered and his vital organs
removed, according to his relations.
There was equally a human organ believed to be a bladder left on the
ground, where the slain man’s body was found and also hand gloves
believed to have been worn by those who murdered the man. When contacted
on phone, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abia Command,
Geoffrey Ogbonna, while confirming the incident, denied that the young
man was killed for ritual purposes.
