“How kidnappers killed victims, called ‘Alhaji’ to come for body parts” – Rescued victim

A lucky woman has recounted her experience at kidnappers’ den in Port Harcourt.

Precious had boarded a bus on her way from church, unsuspecting that some of the occupants were part of a kidnapping syndicate.

She saw as other victims were butchered at the spots they were taken. Some “Alhaji” was immediately called by the kidnappers to come for the body parts, Precious recounted.

“I was returning from a church service and after the service I moved to attend a child dedication at Chokocho. So, I walked to Igwuruta Junction in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State to board a bus, which would take me there,” she said.

“When a bus came that afternoon, I looked carefully and saw four women and three men already in the bus before I joined, thinking that it was an ordinary bus.

“Immediately, we passed a police checkpoint, the driver parked the bus by one side of the road and they ordered everybody to alight from the bus. They blindfolded us and the next thing I realised was seeing myself and others in the forest.”

She was able to escape on Sunday, August 12, after her captors were ruffled by police presence at their hideout.

“There was confusion among them when they noticed that some security agents were trailing them inside the forest. They (ritual killers) had earlier told us that they sell human parts and not just kidnappers and I noticed it,” she told newsmen.

“I saw the other lady that was with us being shot and they started butchering her body while some were calling one Alhaji on the phone, telling him that some parts were ready.

“It was the police raid in some of their camps that made the kidnappers to be afraid. The kidnappers, out of fear, took us to another place and in the process, they started arguing and fighting one another. That was how I managed to escape.”

Precious urged the police to raid the forest where she escaped being killed by the ritual killers, saying that many victims, including children, who were kidnapped by the hoodlums, might still be in the bush.
