We’re promised N5m for ladies’ breasts and hands, say Juju priest, two others who killed three female CoE students in Minna
A juju priest, Bature Nathaniel, and two others have been arrested by the Niger State Police Command for allegedly killing three female students of College of Education, Minna.
Nathaniel and his accomplices – Musa Smart and Ndakolo James – were arrested at different locations while trying to sell the victims’ body parts.
The trio, during their parade at the police headquarters, said they kidnapped and killed the ladies and proceeded to sell their parts to one Musa Smart, who allegedly promised to pay N5m for the parts.
Two female students the college, Oladepo Blessing and Oluwasemilore Mary, were earlier in 2020 declared missing. Though their names were not given, the girls may have been the victims, it was gathered.
One of the suspects, Musa Ndakolo said that they were promised N5m to get the left breasts and hands of ladies.
He said the juju priest had not delivered on the N5m promised despite their keeping their part of the bargain.
“We have killed three girls and removed their breasts and buried their remains in the bush. We gave the parts to the Alfa and Sile who is also part of us but has run away.”
Ndakolo said that he was not involved in the killings,
“I was not there when the victims were killed but I was the one keeping vigil at the entrance of the bush and the operation was successful. I did not participate in the killing.”
Another suspect, Musa Smart said that they picked up the students at around 9.30 pm when they were returning from school to their hostel after reading at night.
Police spokesman Wasiu Abiodun said the suspects confessed to killing and mutilating the bodies of their victims for ritual purposes, adding that the suspects also took the police to the place where one of the victims was buried and they found the body which was already decomposing.
