On Thursday police arrested 11 people in Onitsha after they discovered 2 fresh human heads in a hotel (name withheld) very close to the popular Ose- Okwodu market in Anambra State.

The arrest followed tip-offs from area residents on Thursday morning. The hotel owner, 6 women and 4 men were arrested.

 Police discovered two human heads wrapped in a cellophane bag, two AK47 riffles, two army caps, 40 cell phones in the hotel.

“Each time I came to market, because the hotel is very close to the market, I always noticed funny movements in and out of the hotel; dirty people with dirty characters always come into the hotel. So, I was not surprised when the police made discovery in the early hours of yesterday. ” said a vegetable seller in the area.

A pastor who was among the people who tipped off the police on Thursday said: I went to the hotel early this year, after eating, I was told that a lump of meat was being sold at N700, I was surprised. So I did not know it was human meat I ate at such expensive price.”
