A businessman has confessed to knowing two other individuals believed to be accomplices that also frequent the compound of the Enugu based native who allegedly killed and buried people in his house soakaway for ritual.
The businessman who made the confession after he was caught and beaten by an irate mob, gave their names as Okey and Chibuzor.
“One is Okey from Orji (Orji River) and Chibuzor who I don’t know where he is from but if I see their faces I will recognise them,” he stated.
Speaking further, the businessman claimed he is a security guard asked to guard the compound and scare people away.
While denying involvement in the killings, he admitted frequenting the native doctor’s residence for ritual purposes.
“I am a business person and I came here. After I finished performing some sacrifices, it remained for a water sacrifice to be performed for me.
“I was waiting for everything to be done for me. There are things to be done but I don’t know what are used to do the things, but what they do here is that as a new comer, they normally send the person on an errand.
“The owner of this place, Daddy Ezeani(native doctor) asked me to protect this place and scare anyone coming here away”, he said.
In a viral video, one of the shocked community members recounted the horror.
He said, “We have caught the killers. They kill people. People’s dead bodies are full inside here. They have killed a lot of people. We just rescued a 13-year-old child who they wanted to use for rituals,”
“This is happening in Ojor’s house in Umuma Ndiagu, Ezeagu in Enugu state . This is one of them here,” referring to a suspect apprehended at the scene.
It would be recalled that the residents of Umuma Ndiagu community in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, uncovered soakaway pits filled with dead bodies of people including pregnant women and children in the compound of Ezeani, yesterday.
The alleged mastermind, Ezeani, is said to be currently on the run but it was gathered that his wives were also caught by the community members while his house and cars were said to have been burnt down by the irate youths.
All efforts to get the comment of the Public Relations Officer of the State’s Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, proved abortive.
