Woman, son kill younger son for rituals

A 32-year-old man identified as Afeez Olalere who was arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command has confessed that his mother encouraged him to kill his younger brother for money rituals.

Afeez, suspected to be an internet fraudster, made the shocking confession saying “my mother took me to an herbalist who told me if I want to be successful in the yahoo business, I will have to sacrifice one life and that person must be a sibling to me.”

He revealed that his mother encouraged him to kill his 21-year-old brother which he did with the help of a poison.

Afeez further explained that his brother died 20 minutes after consuming the deadly poison.

He then, went ahead and harvested the required body parts while the remains was wrapped and headed to a mortuary.

But the suspects were caught during a stop-and-search operation along Itamaga, Ikorodu Road, in Lagos.

Afeez simply said, “The things he would need to prepare a concoction with are his thumbs, his hair, fingers and a passport photograph.

“So, we went back home and thought about it, then my mother suggested that we use my younger brother since he is just 21 years old.

“She also brought the poison which we gave him to eat. He died within 20minutes after consuming the food. I was the one who cut out the body parts needed. We then wrapped his dead body and headed to the mortuary.”
