The Delta State Police Command had in a statement on Sunday debunked reports of the command apprehending suspects selling human parts as suya in Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state.

The voice added that on a good bargain, he could dispose of two sticks of the roasted meat for N150.00 but consumers never knew that they were consuming human meat.
Reacting, however, to the viral video, the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Bright Edafe, said the command had not arrested anybody in possession of human parts.
Edafe, who stated this while speaking to Vanguard, explained that what the police evacuated was a victim of a hit-and-run driver, explaining that the body of the unidentified victim was totally shattered.
