Three people arrested in connection with murder of hunchback

Bibiani (WR), Aug. 17, GNA - The Bibiani Police on Thursday arrested three people in connection with the murder of Musa Iddi, one of the hunchbacks found dead with the hump removed.

The three are Nuhu Billa, alias Apana, Alidu Musah, Alias Ton and Abudu Rahman, alias Taller who is a butcher, while the fourth person is at large.

Last month, the Bibiani Police appealed to the public to assist to unravel the emerging gruesome murdering of hunchbacks at Bibiani, with the suspicion that their humps were being used for rituals. The suspected murderers tied one of the victims neck with a rope and cut part of his hump.

Meanwhile, the Bibiani Police is hunting for the fourth culprit and has appealed to the public to assist with any information to facilitate his arrest while they continue with their investigations.
