In the quest to make money and live large in this present Nigerian economy, Okpegboro Avwerosuo, A 34-year-old man, has allegedly killed his roommate and sold some of his organs to a pastor for ritual purposes. Anaedoonline.ng gathered that the pastor is currently on the run while Avwerosuo has been arrested.
According to a report by the Tribune, the incident happened in Sagbama Town, Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
Avwerosuo was alleged to have lured the deceased to Sagbama to join the commercial motorcycling business, assuring him that it was a booming business due to the Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro College of Education (IJBCOE) in the area.
However, less than a fortnight after arriving in the town, Avwerosuo allegedly killed him with a pestle in the middle of the night, crushing his skull.
Quoting an anonymous neighbor, Tribune reported that “after killing him, he dismembered the body, preserved the vital organs and put the other parts in separate sacks which he disposed of in the early hours of the following day.
While he was disposing of the sacks, another neighbor 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 traveled back to Delta State for an urgent business. Not satisfied with his response, the neighbor forced his way into the room and saw bloodstains everywhere. The neighbor held him down and alerted the local vigilante which eventually called the police in to arrest the suspect.
“Upon interrogation, before he was handed over to the police, the suspect confessed that he had sold the vital organs of his friend to a pastor in Port Harcourt who is currently at large for ritual purposes.”
Meanwhile, the President of Salga Federated Youth Council Worldwide, Comr. Preye Keku Casey, in a statement, has condemned the killing of the young man.
He advised youths in the community to be on alert to checkmate the activities of non-indigenes in the town as security tension continues to rise across the country.
“Just yesterday, the decomposing body of a young man was discovered in the bush by well-meaning Salgarians with several parts of the body already butchered into pieces and placed in sacks. The Nigerian Police, Sagbama Division, was alerted and it led to the arrest of a young man resident in Sagbama Federated Community, suspected to have been the perpetrator of the ungodly act.
“The president, while condemning the act, calls on Sagbama youths to be very careful and vigilant as they go about their normal activities, especially in the wake of the rising insecurity level in the country. He urged Salgarians to be careful of the places they visit, those they associate with and keep as friends, and as well limit the time at which they keep late nights.
“He, therefore, charged the security agencies to ensure that proper investigations be made in order to unmask those behind the murder of the young man, and ensure the arrest and prosecution of everyone involved in the act, and as well, ensure that the people of Sagbama LGA are protected from heartless blood-seekers, so as to avert such ugly incidence anywhere around Sagbama Local Government Area.”
