“After abducting our victims, we dispossess them of their belongings, we strangulate them and give their blood to the ‘Queen’ and after that we bury them.

“But I have now realized that all powers belong to God. Before now I confessed my sins to the Policeman that arrested me. He also took me to a Pastor in Katsina/Ala even before taking him to the graves where I confessed my sins,” he added.

Iorwuese Ikpila who claimed to be 30 years old said had four wives and four children.

Earlier the Benue state Police Commissioner, Mr. Garba Mukaddas said the arrests of the gang followed a tip-off, “they specified that the gang kidnapped sixteen persons, robbed them of their vehicles, motorcycles and other belongings, killed their victims, buried the corpses and planted cassava on the graves as a way of covering the crime.

“Further investigation led to the discovery of sixteen shallow graves. Eleven corpses have been exhumed and identified by their family members.

“A receiver of the properties stolen by this gang, one Shizoon Nyityo has also been arrested. Items recovered from the suspects include one locally made single barrel gun, a rope used by the gang members to strangulate their victims and assorted charms. Investigation into the matter is ongoing,” Mr Mukaddas said.

Also paraded were 11 others for alleged kidnap and cultism including Stephen Ortwer who conspired with a friend now at large to kidnap three children from Benue state and moved them to Ebonyi state for ritual purposes.
