Horror as cleric beheads 14-year-old boy in Ibadan
A Muslim cleric allegedly decapitated a 14-year-old boy, identified as Malik Kareem, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Saturday, reportedly for ritualistic reasons.
The tragic event, causing confusion in the area, took place in the Olorisaoko community within the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.
The victim supposedly took his last West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) subject at Iyana Community Grammar School, Olode, Moniya, Ibadan.
The victim, along with three other peers, sought out a Muslim cleric, currently on the run, for a money ritual last Saturday.

The victim was unaware that the three other boys had struck a deal with the cleric to sacrifice him for a money ritual.
Confirming the situation, a family source who spoke with the publication earlier stated, “I was at home when one of my brothers hurried to inform me about the tragic incident. We immediately went to the scene to verify. By the time we arrived, the Muslim cleric had fled, but we discovered the victim’s lifeless body on the ground, headless.”
He was discovered in a pool of blood at the Islamic cleric’s residence. The head has already been burnt.
“The other three boys had previously made a deal with the cleric to utilize their friend for a money ritual. Therefore, upon arrival, he (the victim) was strangled, beheaded, and incinerated. They intend to consume it daily with pap, as they informed us.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, has verified that investigations into the incident have begun.
He mentioned, “We have started investigations into the incident, and we will keep you informed as it progresses.”
