An Islamic cleric in Ilorin, Abdulrahman Mohad Ballo, has been arrested for allegedly k!lling a final-year student of Kwara State College of Education, Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, for ritu@l purposes.

The suspect reportedly lured Yetunde after connecting with her on Facebook and obtaining her phone number.

According to reports, the suspect dismembered her body for alleged ritu@l purposes after the gruesome k!lling.

The Kwara State Police Command, which confirmed the incident, stated that the suspect had been arrested.

Yetunde, a final-year student of Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, was last seen on Monday, February 10, 2025, while attending a naming ceremony. She received a call from a friend, stepped aside to answer, and then left.

“Since then, we’ve been searching for her everywhere, but no one knew her whereabouts,” a source said.

By Tuesday, Feb. 11, her family reported her missing at Oja-Oba Police Station, Ilorin. The police used her phone number to trace her last call, which led them to a suspect living in the Offa Garage district area of Ilorin.

The suspect was arrested but initially denied knowing her whereabouts.

However, during a search of his house, he confessed that she had visited him and allegedly d!ed of an asthma attack.

Upon further investigation, police discovered Yetunde’s dism3mbered body, hidden in a bowl, along with equipment used for the act.

Sources suggest this may not be the suspect’s first offence, as police found suspicious tools in his room, indicating a possible pattern of ritu@l k!llings.

The Kwara State Police Command, through its Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident, stating: “The Kwara State Police Command is aware of the gruesome killing of one Miss Yetunde H. Lawal. On February 11, 2025, at about 1800 hours, a case of a missing person was reported at C Division Oja-Oba by her father, Mr. Ibrahim A. Lawal.

“Immediately, detectives swung into action, tracked her number, and arrested a suspect…”

A student of the Benue State Univeristy, BSU, Makurdi, Mr Abel Agaba, who was reported to have drowned in the River Benue was recovered on Friday.

A source said the deceased, who is a 200-level student of the Chemistry Department of the institution, had gone missing after swimming in River Benue.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Agaba, who lived with family members at Awe Street in the Wurukum area of Makurdi town, went to the nearby River Benue after watching a football match at a viewing center at about 11:45 pm.

He said, “we learnt that after watching the European football matches that finished at about 11:45 pm he said he was feeling hot and wanted to swim in River Benue to cool his body.

“Though those with him advised him against going to the River as it was already too late, he insisted and went since it was the usual practice around the area for people to go swimming at night whenever there is intense heat.

“He went alone and nobody bothered to check on him till Friday morning when a fisherman in the neighbourhood went to the River to check his fishing net for fishes and discovered Agaba’s lifeless body attached to his fishing net.

“The man raised the alarm and people went and recovered his body which was identified by his family members who took his remains to the mortuary.

“The death of the young man has thrown Awe Street neighbourhood into mourning because he was a gentle man who gave his time to his studies and never had issues with anyone.”

When contacted for confirmation, Spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, CSP, Catherine Anene said she was yet to receive information on the incident.
