A 61-year-old landlord identified as Toafeek Hassan, who was yesterday caught and arrested with fresh human head and other body parts belonging to an unknown woman in Lagos, has given a shocking confession.
It was gathered that Hassan was on his way to hand over the needed body parts to a cleric, when he was challenged by some curious people, as the bag he was carrying was dripping blood.
When they forcefully took the bag from him, a female head, two wrists and a heart spilled out. They raised alarm, which alerted other residents. If it wasn`t for the quick intervention of policemen , Hassan would have been lynched by a mob, who tied his hands, legs and was dragging him on the ground.
During interrogation before police arrival, Hassan disclosed to the mob that the yet-to-be identified woman, had approached him, for spiritual cleansing due to some challenges she was facing, and that it was his second time of killing clients for the unnamed cleric for ritual purpose.
According to him,
“she was not my direct client. A herbalist brought her to me on Sunday. He said that the woman was looking for spiritual solution. The herbalist uses human beings for rituals. He deceived the woman saying he was bringing her to a senior colleague, who would perform some cleansing by the river side on her.
“Immediately they dropped the woman by the riverside they left, with a promise to wait for her at the bus stop. While she was waiting, I came and did my part of the job. She said she was from a far area. I felt pity for her, but I could not help the situation.
“I was on my way to deliver the needed parts to the herbalist when I was arrested. This is my second time of working for me”.
