The Force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement last night.
It was earlier reported that the suspect, Andrew Ochekwo, who was based in the Ogbor Hill Area of Aba, was seen in a video clip inviting the two women to his residence for hook-up, a Nigerian slang a meeting arranged for sex.
The women, Celine Ndudim, a Nigerian, and Afiba Tandoh, a Ghanaian, reportedly visited Mr Ochekwo on 27 April in Aba, the commercial hub of the state.
The two travelled from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, South-south Nigeria, after meeting the suspect on Facebook.
A human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who raised the alarm over their sudden disappearance in a series of posts on Facebook, claimed Ochekwo initially held the victims hostage in his residence.
Gwamnishu said, after the women went missing, Ochekwo was arrested by police operatives from Aba Police Divisional Headquarters for being in possession of the women’s belongings.
The human rights activist said the matter was subsequently transferred to the Anti-kidnapping Unit of the police headquarters in Abia State Command, Umuahia, and later moved to Force Headquarters in Abuja.
A day later, the human rights activist said he and the Intelligence Response Team of the police from the Force Intelligence Bureau discovered a dead body in a bush near the suspect’s residence.
He pointed out that some parts, such as the head, two hands and two legs, were missing from the discovered corpse.
He added that a curtain used to wrap the discovered body was the same curtain seen at Ochekwo’s residence where the missing women visited him, but that a test would be conducted on the body to ascertain if it belonged to one of the women.
