Police in Oyo State have arrested and detained three Islamic clerics for allegedly beheading a middle-aged man in Ibadan, the state capital.
The victim, a well-known surveyor within the locality, was reportedly lured to a bush at Moniya in Akinyele Local Government of the state by his alleged killers under the false pretense of awarding him a contract before killing him and decapitating his killing.
While the motive behind the barbaric killing is yet to be ascertained, the manner of the killing points to rituals.
The fleeing suspects have been arrested by the police at Apete in the Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State and are currently being detained at the Criminal Investigation Department.
