Thursday, July 30, 2026 - A barber, simply identified as Emeka, has been nabbed by men of the Abia State Police Command, after a clay pot stuffed with human hairs was found inside his one-room apartment in Umuahia.
The barber, who was said to be popular in Umuahia for his
stylish barbing skills, was arrested on Tuesday after his neighbour, Mr.
Johnson Ikenga had lodged a report to the police complaining that Emeka was
threatening him.
A search was reportedly conducted by policemen in the
suspect’s house during the arrest, which led to the discovery of the pot filled
with human hair and other fetish items.
When interrogated, the barber confessed that the pot
belonged to him, but could not explain what he used the items for, or where he
sourced the hairs.
But many residents are claiming that the hairs found inside
the pot may have belonged to customers who patronized the suspect.
Official statement on the matter is still being awaited from
Abia State Police Command, but the suspect was taken away by police officers
from Central Police Station, Umuahia, for proper investigation.
