Horrific: Suspected ritualists sever head of 3-year-old girl in Ilorin

by Akan Ido

The mutilated body of a three year old girl, Aliya Usman, has been found at Ile Onigboro, Ita Elefun, Ita Ogunbo, Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Her body was found on Tuesday with head severed and major organs in her body missing.

Eyewitnesses say the little girl’s head was found in a dust-bin wrapped in a polythene bag while her mutilated body was discovered in a newly constructed septic tank.

Sympathisers were seen gathered, shocked at the gory sight of the mutilated body with some of them raining curses on the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

A syringe wrapped with a red cloth was said to have been recovered close to the victim’s severed head which is considered to be a pointer to the fact that the little girl must have been drugged before the act was carried out.

The victim’s mother, Aminat Usman, a petty trader at Adabata, Ilorin, was still in shock when she spoke with reporters.

She reportedly said Aliya’s younger brother died about 10 months ago from a strange illness which makes this tragedy even more painful.

She said she had groomed her daughter properly on the fateful day not knowing that she was “preparing her for her final journey home.”

“When I didn’t see her at the time I expected, I became very suspicious because this was very unusual of her.

“But after frantic search for her yielded no fruit up till about 7pm, I became very apprehensive. At that moment, I felt cold. It was the shout from the search team later the next morning, at 6am that threw the neighbourhood into agony,” she recounted.

The killing is suspected to have been carried out by ritualists.
