Ritualists behead 94-year-old woman in Ekiti
Some yet-to-be identified ritualists have allegedly cut off a 94-year-old woman’s head in her house at Ikun-Ekiti, Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
The body of the old woman, Ayodele Asaolu, was found in her house on Saturday evening without her head.
Spokesperson for police in the state, Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident on Tuesday, saying that officers of the command had begun investigating the incident.
He said the case was reported by one of the children of the deceased who was contacted by neighbours after the corpse was found in the house.
It was gathered that the woman was living alone in the house where the incident occurred.
Some indigenes and residents of the community who spoke with journalists on condition of anonymity said that they suspected some ritualists to have killed the old woman.
They added that the ritualists must have observed that the woman was living alone in her house before they attacked and killed her for the alleged money ritual.
