On Monday, Edujandon.com reported that a 14-year-old boy, identified as Malik Kareem, was reportedly beheaded for ritual in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The incident occurred at the Olorisaoko community in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state on Saturday, August 10, 2024.

It was gathered that the victim recently wrote his final subject for the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) at Iyana Community Grammar School, Olode, Moniya, Ibadan.

According to sources, the victim, along with three other young men, approached a Muslim cleric, who is now on the run, to perform a money ritual on the day of the incident.

One source revealed that unbeknownst to the victim, the three others had secretly conspired with the cleric to sacrifice him for the ritual.

A credible family source recounted, “I was at home when one of my brothers rushed in to tell me about the tragic event. We immediately hurried to the scene to verify it. When we arrived, the Muslim cleric had already fled, but we found the victim’s lifeless body lying on the ground, decapitated.

“He was discovered in a pool of blood at the cleric’s residence. The head had already been burned.

“The three other boys had earlier arranged with the cleric to use their friend for a money ritual. When they arrived, they strangled him, beheaded him, and cremated his head. According to what they told us, they intended to mix the ashes with pap every day.”

Another informed family source mentioned, “The cleric’s house has been set ablaze by unidentified youths from the area.”

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed that an investigation into the incident is underway.

“Investigations have commenced, and updates will be provided in due course,” he stated.
