The police in Ogun state have arrested a pastor and
one other over alleged killing of a woman simply
identified as Iya Anu. Parading the suspects at the
Ijoko scene of the incident on Wednesday, Ogun
Police Commissioner, Ahmed Iliyasu, said that the
offences committed bordered on conspiracy,
murder and ritualism on August 10th.
The commissioner said the district head reported
that a headless decomposing body of a woman was
found in an uncompleted building within the
community.
” On interrogation , the pastor, who also claimed to
be a prophet in a church, confessed that the
deceased was his lover and that they had dated for
two years .
“On that fateful day the deceased came to visit him
as usual and after they made love, the woman was
relaxing when he hit her head with a pestle-like
wood.
” He later cut off her head and the two hands
before he threw the remains into the uncompleted
building behind his residence.
“The severed head and two hands of the victim
were buried at the back of Lion of Judah Church of
Christ situated at Robiyan Avenue, belonging to the
pastor,” the Commissioner of Police said.
The pastor later told newsmen that the woman was
his lover and that he didn’t know what came over
him to have perpetrated the act.
He corroborated that his relationship with the
woman had been on for over two years.
