Teenage Friends Kill 14-Year-Old For Money Ritual

Oyo state Police Command has confirmed the death of a 14-year-old boy, Malik Kareem, who was allegedly killed for money ritual by his teenage friends in Ibadan.

 

The Police Command noted that it has commenced an investigation into the matter to bring the perpetrators to justice.

 

The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Adewale Osifeso, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Ibadan.

 

Osifeso assured members of the public that an update on the investigation on the matter would be made available once it was concluded.

 

The deceased, according to NAN, was killed and beheaded allegedly for ritual purposes by his friends at Olorisaoko community in Akinyele Local Government Area of the state on Saturday.

 

A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told NAN that the deceased, alongside three of his friends, contacted a cleric, now at large, for money ritual on the day of the incident.

 

The source said that unknown to the deceased, the three other boys had bargained with the cleric to kill him for the money ritual.

 

“When they got there, the deceased was strangulated, beheaded and cremated.

 

” When we got there, the cleric had already run away, but we found the victim’s lifeless body on the ground, without a head and in the pool of his blood,” the source said.

 

NAN gathered that the cleric’s house had since been set ablaze by some yet-to-be-identified youths in the community.
