The Imo State Government on Saturday sealed a hotel and a private mortuary in Umuhu Autonomous Community, Ngor-Okpala, after officials discovered decomposed and mutilated corpses in unhygienic conditions, raising suspicions of illegal organ-harvesting activities.
The command added that the action formed part of an ongoing crackdown on kidnapping and violent crimes along the Owerri–Aba Expressway, led by the Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, in collaboration with other security stakeholders.
The development was disclosed in a statement dated Saturday and shared on X.com on Sunday by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Okoye Henry.
According to the PPRO, the operation was based on credible intelligence regarding a suspected criminal, Stanley Morocco Oparaugo, who remains at large.
