“An Alfa sent me for ritual purposes” – Man caught with human head in Badagry
A soak-away digger in Badagry was, on Sunday March 19, allegedly nabbed with a freshly-severed human head and hands.
The suspect, identified as Taofeek Hassan, was almost lynched by a mob.
He confessed that he beheaded a yet-to-be-identified lady who sought spiritual help.
Taofeek, 61, said he was contracted by one herbalist, Baba Ronke, to kill the lady.
It was Taofeek’s 2nd operation.
The lady’s body parts, still dripping of blood, were discovered in the suspect’s sack on his way to hand over to his contractor.
A head, two wrists and a heart were seen in the sack.
Taofeek was saved from lynching by policemen from Area ‘K’ Command, Badagry.
“She was not my direct client. A herbalist, Baba Ronke, brought her to me on Sunday,” he reportedly confessed.
“One Alfa from Sango-Otta took her to him. He said that the woman was looking for spiritual solution. The Alfa from Otta uses human beings for rituals. He deceived the woman to Badagry, saying he was bringing her to a senior colleague, who would perform some cleansing by the river side on her.
“Immediately they dropped the woman by the riverside they left, with a promise to wait for her at the bus stop. 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.”
