A
middle aged welder has been arrested by the police in Kwara State for
allegedly beheading a farmer in Rore, a rural settlement in Irepodun
Local Government Area of the state.
The
suspect, identified as Segun Bamidele, was said to have told
interrogators that he did the evil deed under the influence of alcohol.
He was said to have claimed that his victim, identified as Sunday
Owolabi, refused to return his greetings when the two met on the farm.
It was learnt that Bamidele attempted to sell off the severed head of his victim after committing the crime.
Although
details of the incident remained scanty due to reluctance among
community members to speak, a source said members of Owolabi’s family
had become worried on Saturday after he did not return from the farm.
The
source said: “This development got his relatives worried. A search
party discovered the headless body the next day on the farmland. The
suspect tried to sell the severed head to one Aliyu, who turned him
down.
“Aliyu
thereafter reported the case to a community leader who in turn informed
the village head. Upon interrogation by the community, Bamidele
confessed to have acted under influence of alcohol”.https://newtelegraphonline.com/drunk-welder-beheads-famer-kwara/
