Head, other organs found with cleric

The head and other organs of a middle aged woman, from Ojodu Berger, was recovered at Badagry area of Lagos on Sunday from a  61-year-old landlord and cleric, Toafeek Hassan.

The discovery, according to our source, was made largely due to the blood that was seen dripping from the sack Hassan was holding.

Africa update gathered that the remains of the unidentified lady, who was allegedly murdered at Ikoga community in Badagry, was forcefully taken, when he was accosted by curious passers-by.

 The irate mob, had tied his legs and arms and would have lynched him to death, but for the timely intervention of policemen from the Area K Command in Badagry. 

The suspect , before the arrival of the police, had confessed that the lady had approached an Alfa from Sango-Otta , who had introduced her to him.

He revealed that the woman had some spiritual problems,  which she was seeking solution for. Unknown to her, the Alfa from Otta uses human beings for rituals, so he lured her to Badagry,  with the promise to introduce her to a senior colleague,  with greater powers.

He said the lady was taken to the river bank, for the rituals and cleansing. According to him, the Alfa had promised to wait for the woman at the bus stop, to enable the cleric perform the cleansing.

He further revealed: ‘While she was waiting, I came and did my part of the job. 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.

“she was not my direct client. A herbalist, Baba Ronke, brought her to me on Sunday.”
