A suspected cannibal and member of a kidnap gang, Roland Peter, has been arrested by the police in Rivers State for allegedly killing, beheading and using the liver and intestines of his victim to prepare pepper soup.
The Police said Mr. Peter was among the kidnappers who abducted, killed and beheaded one Pastor Samuel Okpara from Edoha in the Ahoada East Local Government Area of the state on August 15, 2017.
