There is tension in town as the decapitated body of yet unidentified woman was found in Enugu on Wednesday.
Although the police is yet to identify the woman, Enugu state police command said police is working round to clock to identify the woman and apprehend the perpetrators of the act.
Spokesperson of the command, Ebere Amarizu who spoke on the matter said investigation of the killing has also commenced.
“What the command is doing right now is to ascertain the identity of the victim. You know nobody made a report to the command over the incident; we have also not received report of any missing person. So, we have to establish the identity of the victim,” Amaraizu said.
He said: “Secondly, we have also launched investigation to ascertain the actual place the dastardly act was carried out. Our suspicion is that they killed her somewhere and brought the corpse to the place it was dumped. This is because there is no trace of fresh blood there.
“I can assure you that the police shall indeed get to the root of this matter and bring the perpetrators to justice,” he said.
The yet to be identified woman’s body was found at Abakpa Nike area of Enugu state on Wednesday, December 7.
Residents around the area said there is possibility that the woman head could have been used for ritual by the killers.
A resident who spoke on the killing said: “Christmas is around the corner; so this kind of heartless things were usually carried out by some greedy and wicked persons who want to make money at all cost.
“They want to be at the village and flaunt stupendous wealth, which they have made with human blood.”
