A source, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent said the slain girl, identified as Rofiat, was a resident of Idi-Ape; she was a girlfriend to one Soliu, who is now in police net.

In a viral video, Mustakeem Balogun, who is 20 years old explained that Soliu had strangulated the lady, while he assisted in cutting off the head by using a sharp object.
He confirmed that the girl was meant to be used for money ritual.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, saying the boys were in custody.
He said “On interrogation, the arrested suspects confessed that what they were burning in the local pot is the head of the girlfriend of their escaped accomplice.
