Suspected cultists behead KWARAPOLY student

A student of the Kwara State Polytechnic (Kwarapoly), Ilorin has been reported killed in a cult clash on Tuesday morning in the Ilorin metropolis.

Tribune Online gathered that the victim, identified as Olawale, was reportedly beheaded by his assailants, while his severed head was found around Unity Roundabout, Ilorin after several hours of search by his distraught aged mother.

It was gathered that the deceased, suspected to be a member of a cult group, was also a phone repairer at the popular Challenge phone market in the state capital.

According to the aged mother of the deceased, while narrating her sad experience amidst sobbing, “Olawale left home some minutes after 8:00 pm on Monday morning. But when he didn’t return on time which was unusual for him, I called his number several times but there was no response. We now decided to report at the ‘A’ Division Police station and also went to his school and search hospitals perhaps he had an accident.

“However, it was while searching for him that we saw some persons who gathered around a spot along Unity taking pictures. It turned out to be the severed head of my son.”

Speaking on the development on Wednesday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), Okasanmi Ajayi, confirmed the incident, saying that effort to arrest the perpetrators is ongoing.

“While responding to a distress call, a bodiless head was recovered at Challenge area of Ilorin on Tuesday.

“Investigation so far confirmed it was an attack by cultists. The deceased was also a suspected cultist, an alleged student of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin. The effort to arrest the perpetrators is ongoing,” he said.
