CYRIACUS IZUEKWE
Facts have emerged how Police operatives recovered fresh head of a lady killed by two men for ritual purposes.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects, Ismaila Wasiu, 29 and Mutairu Shittu 35, were said to have lured the victim, identified as Mujidat, from Lagos State to Ibadan in Oyo State, murdered and kept her head with them before the information leaked and got to the Police.
The operatives from the Police Command in Oyo then swooped, arrested and detained the suspects in their custody, where they are undergoing interrogation over the dastardly act.
This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Adewale Osifeso, on Wednesday in Ibadan, who confirmed their arrest and detention in Police custody.
Osifeso stated that the Police received credible intelligence from residents of Ayekale, Saki Area of Oyo State, at about 2:30pm on Monday, who alleged the duo of Wasiu and Shittu were in possession of a fresh human head.
He stated: “Oyo State Police Command attached to Saki Divisional Police Headquarters immediately swung into action, which resulted in the arrest of the duo, the recovery of the fresh human head and the dismembered body of the victim, who has been identified to be one Mujidat”.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the victim was lured from Lagos through a phone call by one of the suspects, Ismaila Wasiu, before they killed her.”
Osifeso said that the investigation into the incident was ongoing and the dismembered body of the victim has been deposited in a morgue.
“The dismembered body has been deposited at the morgue, while intensive investigations regarding the incident continues,” he added
The suspects may likely be charged before the Court for murder but that will be after the conclusion of investigation.
