Operatives of the Kwara State Police command have arrested one Samuel Peter Tsado for the suspected m*rder of a hooker, Abigail.
He was also said to have s*v*red her head for money r*tuals. Samuel was arrested alongside four other accomplices. In a statement by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Okasanmi Ajayi, in Ilorin on Friday, the suspect reportedly tricked the victim to his home where he and one other Mohammed Gbara st*ang*lated her, c*t-off her head and dumped her body in the bush.
“It is reported that on June 29, the suspect had gone to a hotel in Potigi and requested for the service of a commercial s*x worker by name, Abigail. After the monetary negotiation of N5K, both Peter and Abigail left the hotel premises to an unknown place, ever since then both of them were not seen again.
On receipt of the report, an investigation was launched and the suspect arrested. He confirmed that he and one Mohammed Gbara both agreed and planned how to make money r*tual. They both committed the crime. The head of late Abigail was s*v*red with a knife. The h*adless body of the deceased was conveyed by the suspects and dumped in the bush along Patigi/Rifun road.
The duo traveled to Niger state with the deceased’s head where it was kept in Mohammed Abubakar’s home, awaiting the arrival of the ritualist from Maiduguri in Borno state for the money r*tual exercise. They were caught by detectives and three other accomplices were arrested. They confessed to have been involved in an earlier r*tual attempt using the hand of one victim yet to be identified.
The suspects took detectives to the bush where the carcass of the deceased was recovered. The effort to recover the head of the deceased was still in progress as the custodian of the head is still at large. But he will certainly be arrested and brought to justice.”
