London - A Nigerian man questioned in connection with the suspected ritual murder of a boy whose torso was found in the River Thames nearly two years ago is responsible for the deaths of 11 children, his wife told British police, The Sunday Times said.
Sam Onojhighovie, 37, was arrested on July 2 in Dublin under a German extradition warrant for offences linked to human trafficking but has also been questioned in the Adam case, the nickname given to the boy found dead in September 2001.
His wife Joyce Osagiede told British immigration in November 2001 that she was escaping from a religious cult that had been active in her home country of Sierra Leone and in Nigeria, The Sunday Times said.
She was later found to be from Nigeria.
Onojhighovie, who had been setting up branches of a new demonic cult in Germany and London, had killed 11 children, including the couple's eldest daughter, she said according to the same source.
Police arrested 21 people on Tuesday around London in connection with the Adam case.
Those arrested were believed to be in their 20s and 30s and mostly Nigerians. They included 10 black men, nine black women and two white women, one of whom was nursing a baby.
Police have requested DNA tests from those arrested, believing one of them could be related to Adam.
Adam's limbless, headless remains were discovered floating in the River Thames near London's famous Tower Bridge, triggering one of most gruesome murder cases in the British capital in recent years.
Police suspect the boy was the victim of a ritual killing after he was brought to Britain from the vicinity of the southern Nigerian city of Benin.
If we wish these people ill, then we are no better than they are.
I always thought that was the dumbest thought ever put into words by a rational human being...
I don't wish them ill for I realize that one can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and must accept the inevitable.
There isn't a place on this planet where blacks have been able to sustain a stable, safe, and productive society....let alone create one.....And if there is a country such as that, just where is it?
Have a very nice day.
