Some victims
whose bodies had fast decomposed with only skulls remaining were exhumed on
Tuesday by a team of policemen led by the Rivers State Commissioner of Police,
CP Joseph Mukan, in the suspect’s compound in Umuebele, Igbo-Etche in Etche
local government of Rivers State.
The Rivers
State Police Command has exhumed four decomposed bodies of kidnapped victims
from a septic tank in the State.
The police
also paraded a man suspected to be a serial killer who specialised in abducting
and killing his victims in Umuebele Igbo-Etche, Etche Local Government Area of
Rivers State.
The suspect,
simply identified as Anthony Ndubuisi, who hails from Imo is a father of four
children and live in an expansive land where he pretends to be a dealer in
shoes in the Oil Mill Market in Port Harcourt, as well as also practising
shoe-making.
He was
paraded before journalists in his home in Igbo-Etche.
He confessed
to the heinous crimes and also disclosed that he has since abducted and killed
four victims since he started the trade in February this year.
He also
showed journalists the Septic Tank where he deposed off the dead bodies of his
victims.
When asked
how he lured his victims, he said they were majorly his shoe clients who
supplied him with shoes to sell. He said he first struck them on their head and
then strangulated them.
According to
Ndubuisi “I am a shoemaker. I stay in Garrison with my wife and children. My
wife is not aware of what I do. Only me stay in this house (in Igbo-Etche).
“I started
killing this February. I have kidnapped and killed four since I started. I kill
them by holding them on their neck. I tell them I want shoes to sell and they
come to my house,” he said.
Jubilant
residents within his neighbourhood claimed that the serial killer might have
been able carry out his nefarious activities undetected because the road
leading to the community was in a deplorable and inaccessible condition.
They pleaded
with Governor Nyesom Wike to come to their aid by reconstructing access roads
to Igbo-Etche so that their community, which has over 70 crude oil wells would
not continue to be hideout for kidnappers and killers due bad roads.
Mukan told
journalists at the scene of the crime that the breakthrough that led to
arresting him was “through intelligence tracking policing. We were able to get
him. He is a blood-thirsty serial killer who we believe is not working alone.
“The Serial
killer demands and collects ransom but still kills his victims. He is yet to
disclose the amount of ransom he collects. We believe that he is not acting
alone. We will track his accomplices. He is a father of four, three girls and
one boy.”
