The Delta state Police Command on Tuesday says its men has arrested one Godfrey Akpudje, 60, a native doctor with two human heads.

BIGPENNGR reports that the Akpudje’s arrest followed a report lodged at the Isiokolo Police Division by one Ejiro Okoro, 35 who reported that the corpse of his late sister (Name withheld), 65, who died sometime in 2019 and was buried at Ekpan Ovu, had been exhumed by unknown person.

The Divisional Police Officer in Isiokolo Division immediately detailed police detectives to investigate and Akpudje was arrested.

The Police spokesman, DSP Edafe Bright, said information gathered revealed that Akpudje exhumed the corpse and removed the skull.

Two two human skulls were recovered from him, one of them believed to be that of the complainant’s late sister.

Akpudje claimed that he got one of the human skull from Osun state from a native doctor who is now late.

Meanwhile, in another development, the command’s spokesman, Edafe, said in a statement that a team of police officers on routine patrol on Monday June 28 apprehended three suspects with a container filled with fresh human blood.

The officers had stopped a commercial Toyota Sienna van along the Ogwashi-Uku/Kwale road, travelling from Asaba to Kwale.

All the passengers were asked to submit themselves for search, and the three suspects were apprehended.

The three suspects are Monday Nwite, 27; Madabuchi Nweke, 26, and Nwite Sunday, 21.

“During interrogation, the suspects confessed to have murdered some unknown persons in Ebonyi State and were on their way with the murdered person’s blood to a native doctor whose identity is unknown for now but resides in Kwale.

“They were taking the blood to the said native doctor for ritual purposes.,” Bright said.

One rosary necklace tied with charms was also recovered from them.
