Police in Plateau State have arrested a man for allegedly
selling his wife to ritual killers for N800,000
in his bid to make quick money.
The State Police commissioner, Nasiru Oki who said that one
Maimako Shephang of Kwalla village in Shendam local government area of
the state had in August this year, at about 3.00pm lured his wife who was
identified as Agnes to the bush and on getting there, handed over
her to two masked men.
After her husband had left, the men asked her if she was a
spinster or not. The lady informed them that she was married and that it was
her husband that handed her to them. She was then told to run away from the
place because the spiritual sacrifice they intended to carry out requires a
virgin.
The police later arrested her husband and an intermediary
between him and the ritual killers. Upon interrogation the man confessed having
received N400, 000 and was awaiting the balance.
Also paraded along with the man were 31 other suspects who
were arrested for various offences including scar snatching, culpable homicide,
criminal conspiracy, and others.
