A shocking discovery has been made in Anambra State, where a newly launched security outfit, Agụnechemba, has unearthed over 30 graves in a popular hotel located in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area.
The hotel, whose name has been withheld, is reportedly one of the most popular and frequented hotels in the area, with a CAC registration number of 201966.
Viral videos from the scene show multiple exhibits recovered from the facility, including well-partitioned graves of human beings discovered on the last floor of the hotel.
This gruesome finding has sent shockwaves throughout the community, evoking memories of the infamous 1996 Otokoto incident in Imo State.
The Otokoto Riots were a series of spontaneous protests and looting that erupted in Owerri, Imo State, following the brutal murder of 11-year-old Anthony Ikechukwu Okoronkwo, who was buried in the hotel called Otokoto.
The subsequent investigation and arrest of hotelier Vincent Duru and members of the Black Scorpion gang led to a lengthy court trial, ultimately resulting in their death sentences.
The recent discovery in Anambra State raises concerns about the prevalence of ritual killings and corruption in the region.
As the investigation unfolds, the community remains on high alert, demanding justice for the heinous crimes committed.
According to our correspondent, the hotel was promptly demolished in line with the Anambra Homeland Security law.
As of the time of filing this report, the police have yet to confirm the incident.
