Man Beheads and Dumps Woman’s Head in Aba River to Remain Normal

A man in Abia, Emmanuel Effiong is currently in custody of the State Police Command for beheading a lifeless body and also threatening to kidnap his former employer.

The 20 year old Effiong alleges that he was advised by a ‘mad woman’ he gave alms to, to dump a human head or skull into a river, else he would go mad according to Punch.

Desperate to retain his abilities, he beheaded a lifeless body he found at the Aba Park and then proceeded to dump the head into the Aba River.

Effiong also began threatening to kill his former boss, Ikechukwu Udogu, if he wasn’t given N15million. The Abia police busted him after tracing a text sent to his former employer to him. While in police custody, he confessed his other crime; the beheading of a lifeless body.

Effiong said:

“I gave a mad woman money one day in Aba and she told me to look for a skull or human head and throw inside a river or I will go mad. One morning, when I saw a lifeless body in front of the park, I decided to cut off the dead woman’s head for the exercise. I threw the head into the Aba River to remain a normal person.”

On threatening his former boss, he said:

“I served Mr. Udogu for many years as his gateman, but he stopped paying my salary since September 2009. So, I decided to send him the threat message to get my money from him.”

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Adeleye Oyabade, noted that the headless body was found in the park on September 29, 2016. The police had no clue who committed the crime until Effiong, arrested for a different crime, confessed to being the mind behind the desecrated body.
