§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many cases of cannibalism, apart from the recent case in which 27 men, including a Ju-Ju priest, were charged with the murder of three men and with eating two of them, have occurred in Nigeria in the last five years; and what advice he is giving to the Federal Government, with a view to checking this revival of cannibalism.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodIt would be a lengthy task to identitfy from police records any cases of murder in which there has been evidence of cannibalism 23W No figures are therefore available. I am satisfied that no advice from me is necessary to Nigerian Governments.
