Missing final year Kwara student found dism3mbered in home of Islamic cleric she met on Facebook.
An Islamic cleric in Ilorin, Abdulrahman Mohad Ballo, has been arrested for allegedly k!lling a final-year student of Kwara State College of Education, Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, for ritu@l purposes.
The suspect reportedly lured Yetunde after connecting with her on Facebook and obtaining her phone number.
According to reports, the suspect dismembered her body for alleged ritu@l purposes after the gruesome k!lling.
The Kwara State Police Command, which confirmed the incident, stated that the suspect had been arrested.
Yetunde, a final-year student of Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, was last seen on Monday, February 10, 2025, while attending a naming ceremony. She received a call from a friend, stepped aside to answer, and then left.
"Since then, we’ve been searching for her everywhere, but no one knew her whereabouts," a source said.
By Tuesday, Feb. 11, her family reported her missing at Oja-Oba Police Station, Ilorin. The police used her phone number to trace her last call, which led them to a suspect living in the Offa Garage district area of Ilorin.
The suspect was arrested but initially denied knowing her whereabouts.
However, during a search of his house, he confessed that she had visited him and allegedly d!ed of an asthma attack.
Upon further investigation, police discovered Yetunde’s dism3mbered body, hidden in a bowl, along with equipment used for the act.
Sources suggest this may not be the suspect’s first offence, as police found suspicious tools in his room, indicating a possible pattern of ritu@l k!llings.
The Kwara State Police Command, through its Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the incident, stating: "The Kwara State Police Command is aware of the gruesome killing of one Miss Yetunde H. Lawal. On February 11, 2025, at about 1800 hours, a case of a missing person was reported at C Division Oja-Oba by her father, Mr. Ibrahim A. Lawal.
"Immediately, detectives swung into action, tracked her number, and arrested a suspect..."
