only to return without him and could not give a convincing explanation about
the boy's whereabouts.
D. S. P Ibrahim
explained that, following the failure of Alti to convince the grandfather of
the deceased when he enquired about the whereabouts of his grandson sparked
suspicious about the motives of Alti which led to the involvement of the Police

his son, he mobilized a search team which on arriving the farm, found the
mutilated body of the deceased child.
“The grandfather
mobilized some men for a search and unfortunately on reaching the farm, they
discovered the dead body without a head”, he added.

Police which led to the arrest of the murderous father; who also confessed in
the course of investigation to have killed his son with his own hands using a
stick and a machete in anticipation of a million Naira from one Alhaji Sange
Hassan of the village.
The principal
suspect Alti Bappa while fielding questions from newsmen confessed to have
committed the crime, saying that it was Alhaji Sange Hassan that motivated him
to bring a human head for N 1Million just as he blamed the devil for
manipulating his spirit to commit such a hideous crime while expressing
suitable penitence for Allah's forgiveness.
Bappa said he
wanted to use the money to buy cattle for rearing and also take adequate care
of his family, most especially his aged parents.
However, in his response
the alleged ritualist, Alh. Sanje Hassan who is the ward head of Ganji village
denied the allegation, insisting that it was a set up aimed at blackmailing his
person.
D.S.P Muhammad
said that as soonas investigations are concluded the suspects will be charged
to Court for prosecution.
