    Ritual Killings In Plateau State Are Minimal – Police

    The Police Command in Plateau says cases of ritual killings in the state are minimal.

    The Police Public Relations Officer of the command Mr Alfred Alabo said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Jos.

    Alabo also said there was no information or evidence about the existence of cannibals or human parts market in the state.

    “There is no intelligence report that suggests that a human parts market exists in Plateau; we do not have such here.

    “And I can categorically say that we have minimal cases of ritual killings recorded in the state,” he said.

    The PPRO, however, admitted the operations of internet fraudsters, also known as Yahoo boys syndicate, who kill and harvest human body parts for ritual purposes.

    He further admitted the rise in cases of kidnapping, armed robbery, and cultist activities, among other crimes.

    “Most of these yahoo boys kill and harvest human parts for ritual purposes.

    “They do that on the directive of their native doctors who promise to boost their powers, chances of hitting better deals and immunity from arrest,” he said.

    Speaking on the issue, Rev. Fr. Polycarp Lubo, the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in the state, called on religious leaders to preach against ritual killings.

    Lubo, who corroborated Alabo on the minimal cases of ritual killings, however, called on parents to speak to their wards against joining cultist groups or indulging in internet fraud.
