Residents of a community in Rivers State were left in shock after security operatives arrested two men who allegedly confessed to participating in a criminal network linked to the killing of victims for organ harvesting.
According to Video record and security report, the suspects were apprehended following intelligence reports and complaints from residents about suspicious activities within the area. During preliminary interrogation, one of the suspects allegedly made a chilling statement, claiming that their role was limited to carrying out attacks on victims.
“They only pay us to slaughter victims so they can harvest their organs,” the suspect reportedly told investigators during questioning.
Security officials said the statement has become a major focus of the ongoing investigation as authorities work to determine the credibility of the claims and identify other individuals who may be connected to the alleged operation.
Preliminary findings suggest that the suspects may have been part of a wider criminal network allegedly involved in targeting vulnerable individuals. Investigators are examining whether the group operated independently or under the direction of a larger syndicate.
A senior security official involved in the investigation stated that authorities are treating the matter with utmost seriousness due to the nature of the allegations. The official added that forensic and intelligence teams have been deployed to gather evidence and verify the suspects’ claims.
Authorities emphasized that the suspects remain under investigation and that all claims made during interrogation must be subjected to proper verification before any conclusions can be reached.
The suspects are expected to face prosecution if sufficient evidence is obtained linking them to the alleged crimes. Meanwhile, security agencies have urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
