“And we discovered a lot of decapitated bodies. I wonder, in the 21st century, we noticed that people still practice cannibalism here.

“What they do is kidnap and kill some of them.
“Of course, they engaged the security agencies, but we overpowered them and made a lot of arrests.”
Shocked Nigerians have haiked the security operatives for their gallantry, adding that the deplorable security situation in the South-east has become troubling and begging for drastic measures such as this to arrest.
