The Oyo State Criminal Investigation Department has detained three Islamic clerics for reportedly beheading a middle-aged man in Ibadan, the state’s capital.
The victim, who was taken to a bush at Moniya in the state’s Akinyele Local Government Area, was alleged to be working for one of the accused killers, according to investigations.
According to information obtained, the victim was brought to the location of his suspected murder on the pretense of receiving a job. It was reportedly cut off at the head.
Later, the suspects were detained at Apete in the state’s Ido Local Government Area.
However, the episode shocked a lot of the locals.
It was really pathetic, said one of the residents who asked that her name not be published. In Alapata’s Islamic community, one of the alleged murders was a well-liked imam distinguished by his distinctive turban.
The alleged attackers, according to a trustworthy police source who corroborated the occurrence, were landlords in his area, yet the horrible conduct is reported to have been committed in Moniya.
