Kidnappers buried victim alive in Delta – Police

Delta State Police Command  says it has in its custody two suspected kidnappers who allegedly buried their victim alive in Ughelli area of the state.

One of the suspects, Emma Fole, 27, surrendered himself to the police and his confession according to the police spokesman, DSP Charles Muka, led to the arrest of Kpoure Lofole, 31.

The yet-to-be identified victim was said to be a native of Uzere in Isoko South local government area and was dressed in white garment church attire when she was abducted on December 31, 2011 in Ughelli.

DSP Muka said Fole who hails from Owahawa in Ughelli South local government area of the state surrendered himself to the police because his soul was troubled as a result of the murder he had committed.

“The suspect confessed burying the victim gruesomely alive in his compound when she became weak,” Muka said, adding that his confession led to the arrest one Kpoure Lofole.

The PPRO said the grave where the victim was allegedly buried had been identified and that the corpse would be exhumed as soon as the command established her kinsmen, urging members of the public whose relations are missing to report to the police area command in Warri.
