Police in Nigeria have arrested three teenage boys for allegedly killing a girl who was said to be in a relationship with one of them and burning her head for money.
The suspects, Wariz Oladeinde, 17, Abdulgafar Lukman, 19, and Mustakeem Balogun, 20, are accused of committing the heinous crime in the Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
According to local media, men from the Ogun State Police Command apprehended the three teenagers in the early hours of Saturday, January 29, after receiving a tip from the community security guard, Segun Adewusi.
Adewusi reportedly saw four boys burning something suspected to be a human head in a local pot on the road.
According to reports, the security guard immediately alerted police at Adatan station, who went to the scene and arrested three of the boys, as one had fled before police arrived.
According to a source who confirmed the incident, the slain girl, identified as Rofiat, was an Idi-Ape resident. She was a girlfriend of a man named Soliu, who is now on the run.
He was said to have enticed the girl into his room, where he restrained her and asked one of his friends to slaughter her with a knife.
“Soliu was the girl’s boyfriend, and he ran away.” They murdered Rofiat, severed her head, placed the headless body in a sack, and began burning the head in a pot. They told the cops in front of a large crowd that they wanted to use it for a money ritual.”
One of the suspects, Balogun, was heard saying in a video clip, “We wanted to use just her head alone for money ritual.” Soliu strangled her and told me to help him cut off her head.”
