Officials of the State Security
Services (SSS), on Wednesday, paraded two men who allegedly beheaded a
7-year-old boy and attempted to sell the head.
John Yakubu, 25, and Ishaya Dakulung, 30, were arrested along A.Y.A
Junction of Asokoro District, Abuja, following a tip off. Both men
confessed to the crime
Dakulung told journalists that he contacted Yakubu and offered him
N250, 000 to get a fresh human head after he was approached by an
unnamed person who was wanted it for ritual purposes.
Yakubu said he went back to his village, Angwa Galadima, in Nasarawa
State, where he lured his neighbour’s child, 7-year-old Samu Danjuma,
to a stream with a bread worth N20.
There, he beheaded the boy and dumped his body in the stream; and returned to Abuja where he handed over the head to Dakulung.
Luck, however, ran out for the suspects when they were accosted and
arrested in Abuja by men of the FCT State Security Services, who swung
into action following a tip-off.
Ibrahim Halilu, the Assistant Director, Operations for FCT SSS, said
the suspects would be charged to court as soon as the investigation is
completed.
