Sad: 3 friends, Alfa behead 14-year-old boy for rituals in Ibadan
A 14-year-old boy, Malik Kareem was reportedly beheaded by his 3 friends and an Alfa for money rituals.
The incident occurred on Saturday at the Olorisaoko community in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.
The victim recently wrote his WASSCE at Iyana Community Grammar School, Olode, Moniya, Ibadan.
Punch reported that the victim, alongside three of his friends, contacted a Muslim cleric for a money ritual on that day.
Unknown to the victim, the three other boys had bargained with the cleric to kill him for a money ritual.
News of Kareem’s murder made the family rush to the cleric’s house and confirmed the headless body was their son.
The bereaved family said they learnt that Kareem was strangled to death, beheaded and his head, which was missing from his body, had been cremated.
The cleric had burnt the head so the other boys would use the ashes to drink pap daily.
The Muslim cleric had fled at the time.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, said investigations had already commenced on the incident.
Loved ones have taken to social media to mourn the deceased.
