The Niger State Police Command has arrested four suspects over a plot to sacrifice their biological children for money rituals in Minna, the capital city of Niger State.
The suspects were apprehended during an operation carried out by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit following intelligence reports about ongoing ritual activities involving the use of a skeleton discovered during mining activities.
