The Sawla police have detained three farmers from Nasoyiri in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah area for consuming suspected human flesh.
The three are said to have cooked what they thought was chimpanzee flesh that had been burned by bushfires on their property.
A fourth person present examined the flesh and believed it was human.
The three farmers then went to the landowners in Jentilpe for cleansing, but the landlords denounced them to the police.
Police investigations are still ongoing.
Bagbol Eridon Eric, an Assembly member for the area, verified the story to Citi News, saying the farmers only realized the meat was human after they had devoured some of it.
