Police arraign man for allegedly killing girlfriend, removing, cooking private parts
The police command in Lagos on Friday arraigned a 36-year-old man, identified as Mayowa Dele, for allegedly killing his girlfriend and removing and cooking her private parts.
Dele was arraigned alongside three other alleged accomplices, all of whom were charged with offences bordering on murder.
Periscope International gathered that Dele, who allegedly committed the crime in the Ijegun area of Lagos State, was arrested while he was cooking the body parts of the victim, identified as Mercy, for a ritual concoction.
Reports say that police prosecutor, Thomas Nurudeen, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, told the court that the content of the pot was found to be human parts.
Nurudeen said, “My Lord, three suspects; Oluwakemi Azeez (20), Oyedegun Adewale (27) and Jejelaye Osusola (22) were also arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder of Mercy.
“Apart from putting some of the body parts in the pot to cook, he also put some inside a cement bag and kept it in his room while the remaining parts were wrapped up in bed sheets and buried in an uncompleted building in the area.”
The police, however, said they were yet to ascertain the motive behind the murder of Mercy, but added that Dele implicated others during interrogation.
Magistrate P. E. Nwaka ordered that the defendants should be remanded at a correctional centre pending the receipt of legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
