We do not know which crime is worse, killing the deceased or sharing the body parts of the corpse or the fact that the suspect is a cleric. But i am not the Judge.
An Islamic cleric, Fatai Afobaje, aka Alfa, has been reportedly arrested and is being held in prison for allegedly killing his friend, Rafiu Sulaimon, and sharing his body parts.
He has been remanded by a Lagos State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ebute and the magistrate, A. O. Komolafe, said Afobaje should be remanded pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
According to PUNCH Metro, in an exclusive report earlier in the year, the suspect met the victim in a commercial bus a few years back after the latter did him a favour of paying his transport fare.
Afobaje was alleged to have cast a spell on Sulaimon making him to always turn over his monthly salary to him.
According to reports, the incident happened when the suspect called the victim in the night, saying he wanted to see him for an urgent meeting.
However, he was alleged to have connived with some of the security guards on his street, who stopped the 44-year-old on his way to Afobaje’s house and hit him with a charm. He was later killed by the men.
It was reported that Afobaje later emerged from his house and led the sharing of his friend’s body parts. He was arrested a few days later, after being ratted out by one of the security guards, when the police ransacked his residence and found some burnt fingers of the victim in a clay pot. His body was later found in a swamp, with the head and other parts of the body gone.
