[News] Two nabbed for attempting to kill Ekiti apprentice

Two suspects were on Tuesday, November 29, paraded over an alleged plot to use a 17-year-old apprentice for ritual purpose in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

 

State Commander of Amotekun Corps, Joe Komolafe, said the suspects, Adeniyi, 28, and Abdulazeez, 52, were arrested while attempting to slash the throat of the lady.

 

He said;

 

“One of the suspects, Adeniyi, was said to have ambushed the victim on her way to church and attempted to slit her throat. But the lady struggled with him and made frantic efforts to collect the knife from the suspect.

“She was said to have sustained serious injuries in her right hand in the process but raised alarm which led to the arrest of the suspect by residents of the area. They will be handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution to serve as a deterrent to others”

 

Confessing to the crime, Adeniyi said;

 

“My accomplice, Abdulazeez, had been given a contract to get human parts by one of his uncles, who is a herbalist, for ritual purposes.”
