Man allegedly kills his friend and sells his body parts to a pastor for ritual

A young man has been nabbed for allegedly killing his friend and selling his parts to a so-called pastor for rituals. 

TheNation reports that a neighbour who spoke on condition of anonymity, the culprit Okpegboro Avwerosuo allegedly invited the deceased to his home in Sagbama in order to start off motorcycle riding business, assuring him that the business was flourishing in the town because of the presence of Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro College of Education in the area.

The source said that barely two weeks after the deceased arrived Sagbama, Avwerosuo allegedly smashed him with a pestle on the head in the middle of the night and the friend died in the process.

Continuing, the source or let’s just say the witness in this case said after Avwerosuo allegedly killed his friend, he dismembered his body, preserved the vital organs and put the other parts in separate sacks which he disposed in the early hours of the next day.

The source said while the suspect was disposing the sacks, another neighbour who saw him and suspected his movements confronted him later in the afternoon about the whereabouts of his roommate.

“The suspect claimed that the deceased has travelled back to Delta State for an urgent business. Not satisfied with his response, the neighbour forced his way into the room and saw bloodstains everywhere.

The neighbour held him down and alerted the local vigilante which eventually called the police in to arrest the suspect.

Upon interrogation prior to his being handed over to the police, the suspect confessed that he had sold the vital organs of the deceased to a pastor in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for ritual purposes,” the source said.
