An Anambra State based rights activist, Mr Osita Obi has called on the police in the state to investigate allegations that some kidnap victims who could not meet up ransom payment have their body parts sold.
Obi told DAILY POST that he forwarded a viral voice note from a victim who regained freedom to the state commissioner of Police, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, immediately he saw it, urging him to investigate it.
“I told the commissioner to look for someone to interpret the voice note to him since it is in Igbo, so that they can investigate and apprehend those responsible.
“They always say when you see something, you should say something, so when we report to the police, we expect them to take it up from there.”
He regretted however that he has not been able to get any reply since he sent the not to the commissioner.
In the voicenote which has gone viral, a man who goes by the name Aso Rock, who was recently released from kidnappers den, alongside a priest, Rev Fr Nonso, who just returned from US, had in a leaked telephone conversation revealed a lot about the operations of kidnappers in the state, including their location.
Aso Rock, a businessman who is said to be a rice mill owner in Anambra said some victims who can’t meet up with ransom always have their body parts sold to ritualists, while their trunk is disposed in a put and chemicals poured on it to avoid foul smell.
He said: “Me and Reverend Father were kidnapped and whisked to a certain kidnappers’ den at Urum Awka-North Local Government Area.
“I was blindfolded along with the priest and kept in a closet. I spent N10.3 million as ransom while the priest according to him paid over N20 million for his freedom.
“I saw how human beings were being slaughtered alive and their vital organs harvested for sale. There is a well in the kidnappers’ den where the remains of those slaughtered alive were thrown into.
“These kidnappers operate an enterprise in the forest as they employed cooks who prepared their meals and those of their victims. There are small boys, all of them wielding guns. In the evening, you see them preparing to go out, and once they go out, they always come back with people,” the businessman lamented.
