The Imo state Director of Security Services (DSS), Wilcox Idaminabo, has disclosed that security agencies discovered dead bodies, human heads and roasted bodies during a raid at the kidnappers camp last Monday.
Idaminabo made the disclosure while speaking to newsmen on Tuesday in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
According to the security chief, the operation which led to the arrest of over 30 kidnappers, took place in Orsu local government in Imo state and Uli in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state.
The operation also saw the rescue of kidnapped Eze Acho Ndukwe of Ihube Autonomous community in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State.
Idaminabo said: “It was a joint security operation comprising the military, Police and the Director of State Services, DSS; we stormed the kidnapper’s hideout in a community In Anambra state and Orsu in Imo state.
“The community has been deserted and nobody is leaving there. The boys carved a large area of land and that is another form of insurgency; nobody is residing there.”
“In the cause of the operation the security forces were able to rescue Eze Acho, and we discovered a lot of decapitated bodies.
“I wonder, in the 21st century, we noticed that people still practice cannibalism here.
“We saw human flesh being roasted. It was an eyesore.
“We saw a lot of dead bodies. What they do is kidnap and kill some of them.
“Of course, they engaged the security agencies but we overpowered them and made a lot of arrests,” Idaminabo added.
