The suspects, who were paraded at the police headquarters in Minna, the state capital, said they kidnapped, killed the ladies, and planned to sell the parts to a client, who allegedly promised to pay N5 million for the items.

One of the suspects, James, said they were meant to get the left breasts and hands of ladies.
He said the voodoo priest has not paid them for the work, even though they have kept their part of the bargain.
“We have killed three girls and removed their breasts and buried their remains in the bush. We gave the parts to the Alfa and Sile who are also part of us but have ran away.”
Ndakolo claimed that he was not involved in the killings. He said he was watching the entrance of the bush where the victims were buried, to ensure that no one saw them.

“I was not there when the victims were killed but I was the one keeping vigil at the entrance of the bush and the operation was successful. I did not participate in the killing.”
Another suspect, Smart, stated that they picked up the students around 9.30 pm, when they were returning from class to their hostel after reading at night.
The Police command spokesperson, Wasiu Abiodun, said the suspects confessed to killing and mutilating the bodies of their victims for ritual purposes.
