Photos Of The 14-year-old Boy Beheaded By His 3 Friends And An Alfa In Ibadan

Photos of the 14-year-old boy who was beheaded for ritual purposes in Ibadan, Oyo State, have surfaced.

Malik Kareem was reportedly killed for rituals on Saturday evening, August 10.

The incident occurred at the Olorisaoko community in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state

The victim recently wrote his final subject for the West Africa Examination Council at Iyana Community Grammar School, Olode, Moniya, Ibadan.

Sources allege that the victim, alongside three of his friends, contacted a Muslim cleric, now at large, for a money ritual on that day.

Unknown to the victim, the three other boys had bargained with the cleric to kill him for a money ritual.

News of Kareem’s murder reached his family that evening at their home and they rushed to the cleric’s house where they confirmed the headless body was their son.

The Muslim cleric had fled at the time.

The bereaved family said they learnt that Kareem was strangled to death, beheaded and his head, which was missing from his body, had been cremated.

The cleric had burnt the head so the other boys would use the ashes to drink pap daily.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, said investigations had already commenced on the incident.

Loved ones have taken to social media to mourn the deceased.
