Suspected cultists have reportedly killed a middle-age man suspected to be a student of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident, according to THISDAY checks, happened last Monday when the deceased was going home after he closed for business where he used to repair phones at Challege area of Ilorin after school hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was further learnt that the suspected cultists were said to have laid an ambush for him at the Post Office area where he was alleged to have been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development, it was gathered, led many people in the area to scamper for safety when the suspected cultists were displaying their dangerous weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, speaking with journalists in Ilorin yesterday, the mother of the deceased, Mrs. Olawale, said his son left home past 8p.m. last Monday morning, \u201cbut when he didn\u2019t return on time, which was unusual of him, I called his phone several times but there was no response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe then decided to report the matter at the \u2018A\u2019 Division Police Station and also went to his school as well as search hospitals if perhaps he had an accident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: \u201cIt was while searching for him that we saw some people gathering around a spot at Unity area taking pictures. It turned out to be the severed head of my son,\u201d the mother who couldn\u2019t control her emotions wailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When contacted on the development, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ajayi Okasanmi, who confirmed the attack, said effort to arrest the perpetrators is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cWhile responding to a distress call, a severed human head was recovered at Challenge area of Ilorin last Tuesday. Investigation so far has confirmed that it was an attack by cultists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe deceased was also a suspected cultist, an alleged student of Kwara State Polytechnic. However, effort is ongoing to arrest the perpetrators.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
