Police have arrested a barber identified as Emeka after discovering a clay pot filled with shaved human hair and other suspected fetish items in his one-room apartment.
The arrest followed a report by his neighbour, Mr. Johnson Ikenga, who alleged that Emeka had issued threats against him.
Officers from the Central Police Station conducted a search of the suspect’s residence, where they recovered the clay pot containing human hair along with other items believed to be connected to ritual practices.
During interrogation, Emeka reportedly admitted ownership of the pot but was unable to provide an explanation for the items or how he obtained the hair.
He remains in custody at the Central Police Station in Umuahia for further investigation.
