A pregnant nurse, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, has been allegedly killed for ritual purposes in Anambra
The slain nurse was allegedly killed by one Mr Chiemelie Oborji(Obitex) in Umueri village, Ogbunike, in Oyi Local Government Area of the State.
The suspect reportedly lured the nurse to his home after lying to her that he needed her to come and treat his ailing mother.
A narrator in a viral Facebook video said that hardly had the woman arrived when she was butchered by the suspect, who reportedly fled the scene immediately afterwards.
An indigene of the community, posting under the name Iroko Ogbunike, claimed the victim’s body showed that vital organs had been removed before she was dumped in a pit near the suspect’s compound.
“Unconfirmed news also suggests that parts of the nurse’s body were missing, raising strong suspicions of a ritual killing.
“The entire community is in shock as security agencies intensify efforts to track down the suspect.”
The video, posted online showed some individuals from the community pulling the dead woman’s body out of the pit she was dumped.
One of the youths involved in recovering the body was heard lamenting the “unjust treatment” and declaring the alleged suspect, Chiemelie, “wanted in the entire community.”
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Command has yet to release any statement on the incident.
