A yet-to-be identified man has been beheaded at Amese community in
Akure, the Ondo State capital beside a mountain where some people pray
and worship.
A source told our correspondent on Thursday that the worshippers, who
went to pray at the mountain on Wednesday, found the headless body of
the man at the base of the mountain.
It was gathered that this prevented the worshippers from holding
their usual prayer session as they quickly went to the police station to
report the matter.
The source said the police allegedly detained those who went to
report the matter before sending a team to the area to remove the
corpse.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “After the
matter had been reported at the Ijapo Police Station, the policemen
combed the entire area, arresting residents indiscriminately. Those that
went to report at the police station were also detained by the police.
The police said the arrest of the people was part of their
investigation.”
