All these evil men parading themselves as clerics – Only God will save us – as an Alfa in Badagry, identified as Fatai Afobaje, has been accused of conspiring with some security men in his area to kill his friend, Rafiu Suleiman.
According to Punch, police sources said after the 40-year-old was dead, Afobaje, along with five others, shared his remains among themselves for ritual purposes.
The Alfa it was learnt had been friends with the deceased Suleiman for a long time, and the deceased had given a lot of money to the suspect – Then the Alfa allegedly conspired with the Chief Security Officer of the area, identified only as Tanko, to kill Suleiman on Friday.
It was the police that discovered the corpse after rigorous search and a clay pot which contained the fingers of the deceased with a few naira notes.
According to a source:
“The two men met in a commercial bus. Suleiman had offered to pay the transport fare of Afobaje after the conductor was about embarrassing him because he had no change.And another source said on Friday, last week, the victim was called by Alfa to come for a meeting around 8pm:
“The Alfa then said he would like to know him better for being so gracious to him (Alfa). So, Suleiman gave the Alfa his address and asked him to visit.
“That was how the friendship started. From what we found out, Suleiman, who worked as a crane operator, would collect his salary and give half of it to Alfa at the end of the month and that happened for a long time.”
“As soon as the victim got to the street’s gate, the security guards surrounded him and asked who he was looking for. When he told them, they flogged him with charms and he died.It was gathered that when the victim’s boss did not find him, he made a call to his wife, who explained that she had yet to also see him, so his boss was said to have contacted policemen from the Morogbo division who then launched a search for him.
“They then called the Alfa to come and when he arrived, they shared his body parts. While one collected his head, another demanded all his intestines, while another asked for his breasts, which were given out.”
According to the deceased’s brother, Yinusa Wahab, who spoke with PUNCH Metro:
“We went to the house, but he was not around. We searched everywhere and didn’t see my brother. Later, we saw a mutilated corpse floating on a stream near the house. It was swollen and there was no head. The breast had been cut off.The police were said to have apprehended the suspect, and he reportedly named the chief security officer as an accomplice:
“We went back to the house and as we looked around, I saw some fingers in a pot which were still being burnt and when I saw them, I could recognise that they belonged to my brother.”
The suspect said:
“He was on his way to my house when he was killed. When I got there, he had been killed and then we shared his body. I urge my accomplices to also confess because the act has been uncovered and there is nothing we can do about it.”Hmmm!!! When did being friends with someone become a crime that attracts a death sentence???
