Five suspects have been arrested bythe Police in Plateau State in connection with the ritual killing of an 11-year-old girl, whose eyes and tongue had been removed when her corpse was found.
Four of those arrested were believed to be the actual killers of the girl, who was on an errand for her grandmother with whom she lived in Fillin-Sukwa areaof Jos.
The fifth suspect, identified as a dealer in shoes, allegedly contracted the other suspects to get him the human partsfor N300,000.
A relative quoted the grandmother as saying she sent her granddaughter to buy Masa (a local rice snack) around 7.30a.m., but that she never returned.
After waitingfor a while, the grandmother went to the Masa seller, who told her that the girl came, but was sent on an errand by one of the suspects.
