A mortuary attendant identified as Lukman Kushimo who allegedly severed the head of a minor in Oke-Yidi Cemetery area of Abeokuta in Ogun State, has confessed that he carried out the operation on request by ‘yahoo boys’, for ritual purposes

The suspect made the confession on Wednesday when he was paraded at the Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran, alongside other suspects for various crimes.

The suspect popularly called ‘Werepe’ disclosed that the job to look for a fresh head was given to him by one Awurela Ifakorede, having offered him the sum of N15, 000, while the severed head was to be used for ritual.

In his words, he said  “the reason I cut the child’s head is that  Awurela Ifa korede said they need biscuit (human head),  that he wants to use it to do a job for yahoo boys. They brought the child to me from FMC to cemetery at Oke Yidi where I buried the child. The following morning I went to dig the child and cut the head” he said.

The suspect confessed that  the corpse of the 6 year old boy  was brought to him from Federal Medical Centre (FMC)Idi-Aba to the cemetery for burial, while he returned the following day to cut-off the head of the boy.
