The victim recently completed his final subject for the West Africa Examination Council at Iyana Community Grammar School, Olode, Moniya, Ibadan, according to investigations conducted by a journalist for NAIJA STREET MATTERS.
Several sources who spoke with our correspondent on Sunday claimed that on that day, the victim and his three other age groups made contact with a Muslim preacher who is currently at large for a money ritual.
The victim was not aware, according to the source, that the three other youngsters had made a deal with the cleric to have him killed in exchange for money.
“I was at home when one of my brothers ran to the house to inform me about the unfortunate incident,” stated reputable family sources. We hurried over to the location to make sure. The Muslim priest was already gone when we arrived, but the victim’s lifeless body was lying on the ground without a head.
“In that Islamic cleric’s home, he was discovered in a pool of blood. Cremation of the head has already taken place. Earlier, the priest had been bargained with by the other three youths, who promised to use their companion in a money ceremony. Thus, upon their arrival, the victim was executed by strangulation, decapitated, and cremated. From what they told us, they will be utilizing it to take pap every day.
“Yet-to-be-identified youths in the area have set fire to the cleric house,” stated a another knowledgeable family source.
Upon being reached, Adewale Osifeso, the public relations officer for the state police, stated that inquiries into the event had already started.
“We’ve started our investigation into the incident, and we’ll keep you informed,” he said.
