The police were tipped off by locals who suspected something horrific was taking place inside the kitchen.
They raided the hotel restaurant to discover human heads which were still dripping with blood in plastic bags. cut in for more stories.......
A local priest who ate at the restaurant - in the south-eastern province of Anambra - was alarmed at the price of meals there, let alone where the meat came from,BBC Swahili reported.
He was presented with a bill of 700 Naira - around £2.20 - when the daily wage for tens of millions of Nigerians is approximately 60p.
The priest said: 'The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high.
'I did not know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive.'
The police also found a terrifying arsenal of weapons which included grenades when they raided the restaurant. Ten people were arrested in connection to the crimes.
One resident said: 'I am not surprised at the shocking revelation... Every time I went to the market, I observed strange activities going on in the hotel.
'People who were never cleanly dressed and who looked a bit strange made their way in and out of the hotel, making me very suspicious of their activities.'

Airtel Nigeria has commended the Osun State Government for its ICT-driven initiative which has not only enhanced skill acquisition amongst youths but also led to job creation.
Speaking at the launch of new product brands by RLG, one of Africa's Technology powerhouses, Airtel Nigeria's MD/CEO, Segun Ogunsanya noted that the public-private initiative between RLG and the State of Osun was worthy of emulation as it is an example that good things can come out of Africa.

He said that Airtel was happy to support more local production as most of the phones imported into Nigeria means transfer of Labour to other countries and also capital flight.
He revealed that his company had no choice but to support products manufactured locally since this has a tendency to create more jobs and add value to the economy.
In his words "If you marry technology with the right price,you create a vibrant market and with the knowledge you provide, you lift more people out of poverty. We will continue to partner RLG and Osun.
In his own speech, Governor Rauf Aregbesola said the success story of the RLG/Adulawo Technogy City puts to shame cynics who thought the project was an election gimmick.
Describing the multi-million dollar initiative as a historic monument to the power of vision, the Governor revealed that the Technology City had in the last one years directly employed 150 persons and trained 1,500 through the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme on Technology (OYESTECH).
According to him "this plant, a public-private partnership with RLG Global is the biggest in Africa and the first of its kind in Nigeria, given the potential of the electronics gadgets in Nigeria, from mobile phones, LCD TVs, tablets etc, the potentials are very great"
He used the opportunity to thank Airtel for patronizing products from the Technology City, urging other telecommunications outfits to join the train by supporting these locally-produced brands

He said with Airtel, the City will be seen as a good base for infusing local content into the Nigeria technological space and an indication that the continent can compete favorably and meet international standards.
He said that it was heart-wsrming that the initiative had achieved this feat in just one year and was optimistic that the future in terms of job creation and youth Empowerment was great for this RLG Model.
In the course of the event, Mr.Alex Lu, CEO, RLG Global introduced some new products. They include: Educational laptop, EL3(which operates on both Android and Windows platforms), the Smart Projector, Uhuru Accu phone and the high-end Uhuru Titan.
