A herbalist identified as Ogbonnah who was arrested in connection with the beheading of a 9-year-old boy, Master, Peter Detiny in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, has denied any involvement in the crime.
According to Spokesperson of the Rivers State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni the suspect was arrested by officers in his house on Thursday.
