Controversy in Community As Unknown Men Behead Mentally-deranged Man

 

 

A mentally-deranged man identified as Auwalu Magaji, has been reportedly beheaded at a tea shop in Tamburawa, Kura Local Government Area of Kano State.

 

According to PUNCH, while speaking to a correspondent, security guard, Haladu Mohammed, revealed that he alongside others, found Magaji’s headless body at a Mai shai (tea joint) last Saturday at about 6am.

 

He said, “On Saturday, workers, tea sellers, alongside others within the local community woke up at about 6am to be confronted with the headless body of Auwalu.

 

 

It was gathered that council officials evacuated the headless body, which was dripping with blood, in a Toyota Hilux pick-up van to the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital’s mortuary.

 

Mohammed suggested that the deceased must have been a victim of ritual killing, adding that the body was found to have been dumped by a river bank in the neighbourhood.

 

The family of the deceased was said to have claimed his corpse following a radio announcement.

 

The family members, who were said to have come from Kasaure, Jigawa State, reportedly took the body away for burial.

 

The Kano State Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Musa Majiya, said detectives had commenced investigation into the incident.

 

He gave the assurance that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.
