Three young farmers of Gwari extraction in Niger state have
been arrested after they conspired to source for human head in their
neighbourhood for money-making rituals purposes.
The three suspects, whose names were reportedly given as
Saleh Ibrahim (35), Usman Lashi Sarki (30) and Dantala Doma, a.k.a. Operator,
(25) years had conspired with other people which included a Fulani man simply
identified as Gajere, now at large, who had allegedly given them a dried human
skull to go and grind. It was further learnt that another unidentified PHCN
employee who is also on the run had promised to get the three suspects mercury
to accomplish their aim.
According to reports, on Monday August 26, Ibrahim lured a
10-year-old boy, Ishaya Segi, from his father’s farm at Amale village in
Shiroro Local Government of the state, put him on his motorcycle and abducted
him to Lashi village, also within the council area where his two other
accomplices were waiting for him. Saleh was said to have urged the boy to
accompany him to his friend’s place in the neighbourhood, after which he would
bring him back to the same spot where he had picked him.
The victim was said to have followed Saleh, unknown to him
that he would never return alive. A police source at the homicide section of
the Criminal Investigation Department, Minna have revealed that no sooner was
the victim brought to Lashi village than the third suspect, Doma, brought out a
very sharp cutlass and cut off the head. The head was removed from his body by
Sarki who is said to be a son to the late village head of Lashi.
The source added that during interrogation, Sarki confessed
that he was contracted to bring the 10-year-old boy’s head by Gajere for
money-making ritual.
It was further learnt
that during police investigation, the boy’s head was traced to Saleh’s
residence of Saleh while he later took the police to two other accomplices. The
police were taken near river Erena in Shiroro Local Government Area of the
state where the headless body of the boy was buried in a shallow grave.
According to Saleh, he initially resisted when Sarki
informed him that one Gajere contacted him to bring a head of the little boy,
but after convincing him, he decided to go out in search of a boy. Efforts
towards apprehending Gajere who contacted the three suspects for the job had
not yielded any result as at the time of filing this report.
May God have mercy....gosh...and may the soul of the innocent boy rest in peace. sighss
