A self-acclaimed cleric, AbdulRahman Bello, has been arrested by the Kwara State Police Command for allegedly killing a student for ritual purposes.
The deceased, Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, was a final-year student at the Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin. She was reported missing on February 10, 2025, after attending a naming ceremony. Witnesses said she left the event after receiving a call but never returned.
Following concerns raised by her family, a missing person report was filed at the Oja Oba Police Station in Ilorin. The police tracked her last call, which led them to the suspect at Offa Garage, though his family home is in Isalekoto.
A source revealed that the suspect initially denied knowledge of her whereabouts but later confessed that she had visited his house and allegedly died from an asthma attack.
However, upon searching his house, authorities discovered dismembered body parts hidden in a bowl, along with tools suspected to have been used in the act. Further evidence suggested it might not have been his first time committing such a crime.
The suspect is reportedly the son of a well-known cleric from Isalekoto who recently passed away.
