The deceased,
a yet-to-be identified lady, approached Hassan, a cleric, for spiritual
cleansing in Sango Otta, due to some challenges she was facing.
Sixty-one-year-old
landlord, Toafeek Hassan, was yesterday, arrested with fresh human head and
other body parts of a lady he was alleged to have murdered, at Ikoga community
in Badagry area of Lagos, Sunday.
Hassan was on
his way to hand over the needed body parts to a cleric yesterday, when he was
accosted by curious people, as the bag was dripping blood. When they forcefully
took the bag from him, a female head, two wrists and a heart spilled out.
They raised
alarm, which alerted other residents. But for the prompt intervention of
policemen from Area ‘K’ Command, Badagry, Hassan would have been lynched by a
mob, who tied his hands, legs and was dragging him on the ground.
Confession On
interrogation before police arrived, Hassan disclosed that it was his second
time of killing clients for the unnamed cleric for ritual purpose. According to
him, “she was not my direct client.
A herbalist,
Baba Ronke, brought her to me on Sunday. One Alfa from Sango-Otta took her to
him. He said that the woman was looking for spiritual solution. “The Alfa from
Otta uses human beings for rituals. He deceived the woman to Badagry, saying he
was bringing her to a senior colleague, who would perform some cleansing by the
river side on her.
“Immediately
they dropped the woman by the riverside they left, with a promise to wait for
her at the bus stop. While she was waiting, I came and did my part of the job.”
Asked how he killed her, Hassan did not state clearly how he committed the act.
He only
replied that “I began by asking her where she came from; she said she was from
Ojodu Berger. I felt pity for her, but I could not help the situation. “I was
on my way to deliver the needed parts to the Alfa at Sango-Otta when I was
arrested.
This is my
second time of working for Baba Ronke and Alfa.” Police sources hinted that his
accomplices fled when news of Hassan’s arrest went round. Contacted, Lagos
State Police Public Relations Officer, Olarinde Cole-Famous, confirmed the
incident, saying investigation was ongoing.
I don't understand this human ritual is so scary
