The suspects were apprehended while trying to kidnap a woman and her kids along Factory Road in Ikot Ekpene, unknown to them that members of the vigilante group were around the area and held them in the process.
During interrogation, they both confessed and gave details of how they kidnapped people, kill them before cutting out their body parts to sell to ritualists outside the state.
They also confessed that, though they sell human parts to their clients outside the state for certain amount of money, but they have not cared to ask what the human parts were used for. They said they believed that they were for ritual purposes.
After their confession, the angry youths attempted to burn them to death but the village head intervened and directed that they should be handed over to the Police for them to face justice.
Thus, the youths handed them over to the Police, who have since commenced investigation over their confession in order to apprehend other accomplices.
