A 27-year-old man, who allegedly took part in the kidnap of a
prophetess after which the woman was buried alive in his compound, has
surrendered to the police eight months after the dastardly act. The
suspect complained that the spirit of the prophetess was tormenting him.
Delta State Police Command’s spokesman, Mr. Charles Muka, who confirmed the development, told our reporter in Asaba, yesterday: “It was a case of kidnap and murder of a woman fully dressed in a white garment church attire, which was committed on December 30, 2011 but the suspect surrendered self to police.”
Muka said that following the confession of the suspect, another suspect was arrested while efforts were on to exhume the body of the woman.
He said: “An unidentified woman said to be from Uzere and dressed in white garment church attire was kidnapped at Ughelli and taken to the house of one Emma,male, 27 years old, who is the first suspect, from Owahawa, Ughelli South Local Government Area.
“The suspect surrendered himself to the police because his soul was troubled and confessed burying the victim alive in his compound when she became weak. His confession led to the arrest of another suspect. Detectives have also identified the spot where she was buried alive and the corpse would be exhumed when relations of victim are identified. We hereby call on members of the public, whose missing person depicts the description, to report to police area command Warri, while we are making effort to arrest others involved in the crime.”
