Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the death of a commercial motorcyclist in Ondo State.

The suspects, identified as Abdulahi Sheu, Harruna Suberu, Dada Alabi and Onimisi Liberty, allegedly hired the services of Olawale Gbogi from Ikare Akoko, to take them to Ihima, Kogi State, for a sum of N3,000.

State Police spokesperson, Femi Joseph, said on getting to Ihima, the suspects directed the victim towards a bush path where he was allegedly beaten up and dispossessed of his motorcycle and mobile phone.

Joseph said that the victim was killed and beheaded by one Rabiu, who was at large.

“Immediately the command got a report of the incident, we swung into action which led to the arrest of Sheu in Akure with the victim’s handset and the motorcycle.

“The head of the victim was allegedly taken to the house of one Dada Alabi, a herbalist, by Onimisi Liberty. But he (Alabi) refused to take it from him. The head is said to be in the possession of Rabiu, while the other body parts of the victim have not been found,” Joseph added.
