Nigerian restaurant shut down for ‘serving human flesh’

A restaurant in south-eastern Nigeria is shut down for allegedly serving human flesh after bags containing heads were discovered in the kitchen 

 

A Nigerian restaurant has reportedly been shut down after being accused of serving human flesh following the discovery of bags containing human heads in the kitchen.

A report on 9janewsworld said police were alerted by local people who suspected something horrific was going on at the restaurant in the south-eastern province of Anambra.

The police raided the establishment and allegedly found the heads, dripping blood into plastic bags, and weapons including grenades. Ten people were arrested.

One resident said: “I’m not surprised at the shocking revelation... Every time I went to the market, I observed strange activities going on in the hotel.

“People who were never cleanly dressed and who looked a bit strange made their way in and out of the hotel, making me very suspicious.”

A local priest who ate at the restaurant was alarmed at the prices it was charging after being presented with a bill for £2.20 - nearly four times the daily wage for millions of Nigerian labourers.
He was told the high cost was because of the piece of meat he had eaten. “I did not know I had been served human meat, and it was that expensive,” he said.
