A suspected kidnapper, Roland Peter, is now telling detectives of the
Rivers State Police Command how he and members of his gang used the
liver and intestine of a pastor, Samuel Okpara to cook pepper soup and
plantain porridge in Rivers State.
Okpara, an indigene of Edoha community in Ahoada-East local
government area of Rivers State, was kidnapped by the hoodlums on August
15, 2017.
The kidnappers killed and beheaded him before using his organs for pepper soup and plantain porridge.
The suspected kidnapper, who was paraded before newsmen by the police
in Port Harcourt yesterday, said he is in possession of the gang’s
rifles, which is led by one Justus, popularly known as High-Tension.
Addressing newsmen later, the commissioner of Police, Zaki Mohammed
Ahmed, said the arrest of the suspect was in continuation of the
command’s onslaught against kidnapping in the state.
Ahmed, who regretted the escape of Ifeanyichukwu Dike, who was said
to have killed an 8-year old girl, Chikamso Victory, from the police
net, said progress was on to re-arrest the suspect as some arrests have
been made.
He said, “The event of 19th August 2017, in which a suspected
ritualist, Ifeanyi Chukwu Maxwell Dike, a 200 level student of
University of Port Harcourt, where one Victoria Chikamso Mesu was
killed and dismembered for alleged ritual purposes, is unfortunate and highly regretted.
“His arrest and subsequent parade before the press on Saturday, 19th
August 2017 was a clear indication to showcase the immense partnership
of the police and the public in fighting crime. Information of his
escape from IPO in course of statement taking did not only leave sour
taste in the mouth of the command, but also created a dent in my avowed
fight against crime and criminality.
“I wish to at this juncture to crave your continued support in our
fight against crime and criminality as this is the only way in which we
can make Rivers State safe for law abiding citizens.”
