The police in Kwara State have arrested a man identified as Sylver Enemo for allegedly killing and dismembering his brother’s wife in what is suspected to be ritual killing.
Enemo, 29, allegedly killed Mrs. Esther Enemo who was reportedly pregnant at her residence in Temidire community, Ilorin, last Thursday. The police were alerted to a suspicious movement around the neighborhood by residents and the officers responded to only to find the mutilated body of Mrs. Esther Enemo, 39, in a bush near her home.
Further search, however, revealed body parts hidden in a sack and dumped beneath a community bridge.
Police said a suspect, “Mr. Sylvester Enemo, aged 29, and the younger brother of the victim’s husband, was arrested after he was seen leaving the house shortly before the discovery. The husband, Mr. Ekene Enemo, has also been contacted for questioning.”
The remains of the deceased have been evacuated and deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital mortuary for autopsy.
Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, has ordered a full-scale investigation into the case. He assured residents that the command will “leave no stone unturned” in ensuring that justice is served.
