3 arrested for allegedly beheading neighbor
Three Islamic clerics have been arrested by the police for allegedly beheading a surveyor in the Moniya area of Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
One of the clerics is said to be a landlord in the Alapata area of Apete in Ido Local Government Area. His house is said to be located a few blocks away from the surveyor’s office.
According to report, the surveyor was popular among residents for selling and buying lands in the area. They were said to have lured the surveyor, who had worked for one of them, on the pretext of the award of a job, to a bush in Moniya where he was killed and beheaded.
It is reported that the trio were arrested in the Sango area of Ibadan North Local Government Area on Thursday, a development which threw the Alapata community into confusion.
