Strange circumstances
were surrounding the alleged killing by Ismail Yakubu of his
wife Silifat, 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.
