The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that the man, identified as Francis Chukwura, is a former staff member of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Imo State.
The police spokesperson in Imo, Mike Abattam, in a statement on Thursday, alleged that Mr. Chukwura attempted to kill his neighbour’s son for ritual purposes.
Mr Abattam said the victim, Henry Ekwos 14, was lured into a room by the suspect who attempted to kill him.
Mr. Chukwura had dug a shallow grave in his room and inflicted the boy with machete cuts before he was rescued, the police said.
The incident occurred in Ubommiri in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.
“The unsuspecting boy innocently entered with him into his room where the suspect had already dug a grave-size pit.
“The boy, on seeing the grave-size pit in the room became suspicious and turned to run out when the suspect picked up a machete and gave him several machete cuts on his head and body,” Mr. Abattam, a chief superintendent of police, said.
