A gory sight has confronted Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Delta Safe (ODS) troops at four shrines deep inside the creeks of Akpabuyo and Bakassi local government areas, Cross River State.
The troops found 25 human skulls at various decomposing stages.
The discovery, it was gathered, raised concerns that the militants were engaged in human sacrifice.
The shrines, which were discovered at Ikot Ene Idam. Abakpa and Ikang creeks, belonged to a notorious militant group, the Bakassi Strike Force (BSF).
The troops, who raided the area following a tip-off, also found other human body parts, including a complete skeleton.
Confirming the development, the Deputy Coordinator, Joint Media Campaign Centre (JMCC), Lt.-Com. Thomas Otuji, said the operation was conducted by ODS’ Sector 4.
He is quoted thus:
“During the cordon and search operations, the troops discovered 25 human skulls in various stages of decomposition, a complete human skeleton and several other human body parts.
“The shrines were destroyed as troops continued to search for the perpetrators of these heinous acts against humanity. With the clearance of these shrines, the Bakassi Strike Force has effectively been smoked out from the areas it used to hold sway.
“It should be noted that the senseless killing of humans for ritual purposes is sacrilegious and will not be tolerated in any form within the Joint Operation Area.”
Otuji said that the troops arrested two suspects at Idebe Ifak Anam, Ikot Okon Edem and Abakpa in Bakassi.
He said the suspects discovered to be spies for BSF militants.
