Strange circumstances were surrounding the alleged killing

the mother of 3 .Vanguard reports
with reference to Lagos police that
the woman’ s mutilated lifeless body
was discovered October 4 in a small
river near Araromi Ale Olorunda Local Council Development Area . The middle - aged victim was apparently dumped in a small river after she had been murdered . Locals , who reported the case to the police , disclosed that some of her body parts , such as her eyes , breasts and uterus, were missing upon discovery .
Ambimbola Sule, a commercial
motorcyclist in the area , said :
“ Residents in the community woke up on Saturday morning to find the
lifeless body of a woman inside the
river that leads into Igbele. Initially,
people could not identify the person
because her face had several cuts .
She was wearing a lace gown, with no underwears .”
Several people were arrested by
police in connection with the incident which initially resembled a ritual killing .
However the majority were released
and the woman’ s husband, detained on the next day , remained the main suspect .
It was further reported that the man
made a shocking confession. He
allegedly not only admitted killing his wife but also said he was directed to do so by a prophet , who told him she was using his star.
Yakubu reportedly failed to drive the body far from the site of murder and dumped it in the nearby river .
Yakubu ’ s neighbour Iya Korede
described the deceased and the
suspect , currently in custody , to
journalists :
“ Most of the people in the area do
not know her husband because he
goes early to work and comes back
late . But his wife is a very hard
working woman. She built the house
they live in . As if that was not
enough , she bought a commercial bus
for him. What else does he want ? If
he was tired of the marriage , he
should have driven her away instead
of killing her . ”
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Kenneth Nwosu confirmed the
information saying that Yakubu had
confessed to the crime .
