Emeka was arrested by youths in Echara community, Awka North, after a tip-off. A video of the incident, shared on Facebook by Dr. Uche Nworah, showed the suspect confessing to the practice.

He admitted that he struck a deal with a prostitute to supply him with used condoms collected from brothels. According to him, the arrangement fell apart after the woman exposed his activities.

The native doctor further confessed that he used the condoms to prepare charms for witchcraft, conflicts, land disputes, and even police cases.

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a 41-year-old man, Somkiemi Tommy, over the alleged murder of a sand business operator, Thankgod Kalaba, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police Ani Iniedu, disclosed the arrest in a statement on Monday.

According to the police, Kalaba was allegedly murdered after visiting a river on October 29, 2026. His body was reportedly tied to a boat and submerged in the water.

Iniedu said the police began investigating the incident after receiving a report about the victim’s disappearance and suspected murder.

Preliminary findings reportedly indicated that the victim had been trailed and killed by Tommy.

The police spokesperson added that the suspect allegedly tied Kalaba’s body to a boat before submerging it in the river in an attempt to conceal the crime.

He said the suspect was arrested by police operatives working in collaboration with youths in Yenaka.

“Acting on the report, police operatives, in collaboration with Yenaka youths, successfully arrested the suspect,” Iniedu stated.

Tommy is currently in police custody, while the Criminal Investigation Department has commenced further investigations into the circumstances surrounding the killing.

The police said the investigation would establish the events leading to Kalaba’s death and determine whether other individuals were involved.

The suspect is expected to face prosecution if the allegations are established by investigators.

The police have yet to disclose the motive behind the alleged murder.
