Mad woman instructed me to sacrifice human head or go mad – Suspect

A 20-year-old man, Emmanuel Effiong, has allegedly told police in Aba, Abia State, that he beheaded a woman on instruction of a mad woman to make sacrifice with human head or he will go mad.

He therefore said, “I gave mad woman money one day in Aba and she told me to look for a skull or human head and throw inside a river or I will go mad. One morning, when I saw a lifeless body in front of the park, I decided to cut off the dead woman’s head for the exercise. I threw the head into the Aba River to remain a normal person.”

Effiong who disclosed this while in the custody of the police, was arrested by police operatives in Aba in connection with a threat to kidnap and kill one Ikechukwu Udogu.
