Suspected Ritualist Beheads Woman After Lodging Her In Hotel; See What Happened Next
The Adamawa State Police Command has made an arrest in connection with the beheading of a young lady in one of the hotels in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, on Thursday evening. The victim was allegedly killed for ritual purposes. The police have apprehended some suspects, including three staff members who were on duty at the hotel at the time of the incident. The arrest of the hotel staff is to help in the investigation of the murder, which is strongly believed to be for ritual purposes.
According to reports, a suspected ritualist took his victim to the hotel where he was lodged as a guest, and thereafter beheaded her and left the scene with her decapitated head. The police have recovered drug and a handset of the lady at the scene of the crime.
The deceased has been identified as Bilkisu Alhaji Idi, a married woman who had just separated from her husband. Her ex- husband, Auwal Garba, identified her remains at the Specialist Hospital. Garba confirmed the identity of the deceased and said she was his wife, whom he had married about six years ago.
The union produced one child, but due to some irreconcilable differences, he divorced her in December 2023. The deceased even called him on the day she was killed at Happy Day Guest Inn, that she wanted to talk to her child, but he informed her that the child is with his grandmother.
