boy for ritual in Ibeju-Lekki area of the State.

said a team of anti-kidnapping personnel from the police command on 27
November, 2018 at about 2030hrs, on routine patrol between Ajah/Epe expressway,

Obadimeji, aged 19 years of Tunde Balogun Street, Shapati, Ibeju-Lekki in
possession of fresh human head.
“On
interrogation, they confessed that one Sodiq Abefe contracted them to provide
him with human head at the cost of N200, 000, hence they lured the victim by
sending him to buy Coca-Cola drink for them and when he brought the drinks to
them, they held him and cut of his head with a knife
.“The
victim has been identified by his parents as Joseph Makinde, male, aged 10
years,” he said.
Oti
said the torso had been recovered from an uncompleted building located at
Shapati and that effort was being made to arrest the said Sodiq Abefe who
allegedly contracted the duo to commit the heinous crime.
He
said the Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi had directed that the case be
handed over to the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba for further investigation.

from the state or regret the consequence of their action.
