culprit on the road holding a polythene bag.
On sighting him, the suspect was said to have dropped the
bag and ran into the bush.
”This aroused his suspicion and he quickly ran to check his
mother but could not find her.
“He later came back to check the bag dropped by the suspect
only for him to discover his mother’s severed head and her wrist in the said
bag.”
”He quickly reported the case to the Police at about 14:45
hrs and immediately the DPO Abigi Division, SP Komolafe Omoniyi, led detectives
to the scene, combed the surrounding bush and finally got the suspect arrested.

crime, claiming that he has been having running battle with the deceased over a
portion of land.”
Mr Oyeyemi however, said that “the severed head and the
remains body of the deceased have been deposited in the mortuary while the
cutlass he used has also been recovered”.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, subsequently
ordered that the suspect be transferred to the Homicide section of State
