Mrs Mokwe, a lawyer claimed that the human heads discovered in one of the rooms in the hotel were placed by some people who have issues with her husband, who is an estate consultant

She appealed to both the presidency and the National Assembly to intervene in the matter to ensure that the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the human heads in Upper Class Hotel on No.8 Old Market, Road, Onitsha, are unravelled and justice is done.
She alleged that the masterminds of her husband’s arrest got approval of their petition from the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), arranged and smuggled in two rusty objects which the police claimed were human skulls and arms in one of the rooms in the hotel on or before the arrival of the police.
According to Mrs Mokwe,‘’My husband was arrested and detained at Central Police squad Onitsha and when the commissioner of police was petitioned he was moved to Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Awkuzu. My husband is being detained in a very de-humanising condition at SARS Awkuzu, and the police have denied him access to his lawyer and relations.
