Kirikenu Toku, a member of the group said they would also start sensitizing women in Port Harcourt on how to avoid being victims to serial killers, calling the trend despicable.

Her mutilated body was discovered in the hotel room on Wednesday, it was gathered.

The deceased who hails from Akwa Ibom state was a former waitress at an eatery who resigned her job a month before her death, her friends say.

They said her killing was for ritual purposes as her body parts were harvested.

Her killing is the 7th mysterious deaths of young ladies in Port Harcourt in a space of three months.

Police said on Friday that they have made arrests in connection to killings since the trend began.
