(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Leveraging on the Assistance of natives of Umueri village, Ogbunike Community in Oyi Council area of Anambra state, the Police has arrested a 24 year old female suspect, Somtochukwu Nwafor, in connection with the recent gruesome murder of a pregnant nurse, whose mutilated body was recently discovered in a soakaway pit.

The State Police Public Relations officer SP, Tochukwu Ikenga, who disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen Wednesday, said “during interrogation, the suspect confessed to being the girlfriend of the prime suspect one Chiemerie Obika Elobisi from the same village, but currently at large. 

“She stated that she was called by the suspect to clean the blood stains after the victim was murdered.

According to Ikenga, “She further revealed how they sell the body parts to different evil native doctors in the area. 

“Also, preliminary information shows that the victim, a trained nurse, was lured by the murderer to his house under the guise of seeking medication. 

“Given the information from the suspect, operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in the early hours of 29th July 2025, burst a shrine of an identified native doctor, Nwafor Chibunna Ofornwatadile from Itima Amawa Village, Ogbunike and recovered suspected human body parts, concealed in cellophane (nylon) bags.

“However, the Command has launched a manhunt for the prime suspect, along with the suspected receivers and collaborators. 

He said “the Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has strongly condemned the heinous act, describing it as “inhumane, criminal, and an affront to public morality and the sanctity of life.

“The CP encourages anyone with useful information to assist the Police in the ongoing investigation to come forward and assuring that the identity of such informants would be adequately protected.”
