Motorcyclist beheaded, heart, kidney removed

Suspected ritualists have reportedly beheaded a commercial motorcyclist, Sunday Ibo, in Odogbolu area of Ogun State.

The killers were said to have also removed the deceased’s heart and kidney before dumping his headless body in a bush.

It was gathered that Ibo, an indigene of Benue State, had left home for his business on February 14 but failed to return home. His family members had organized a search party which led to the bush where his decapitated body was discovered.

The state police command confirmed the incident and assured that it would arrest those responsible for the heinous act.

Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state Police Public Relations Officer, said the Odogbolu Divisional headquarters evacuated the corpse from the bush.

“The story about an Okada man being beheaded in Odogbolu is true. Our divisional headquarters at Odogbolu had moved in and they have recovered the decapitated corpse.

“We have commenced investigations into the gruesome killing. The perpetrators might have beheaded the victim in order to divert attention, we are going to work with so many clues and ensure we unravel those behind the heinous act.

“I want to assure the residents of the state that we will surely get Sunday Ibo’s assailants,” Oyeyemi said.
