A freshly severed human head and hands of a boy were found in the bag of a bus passenger in Kwara, Nigeria, during a police stop and search of the commercial vehicle, Nigerian authorities announced on Monday.
Kwara State Police Command spokesman Ajayi Okasanmi called the crime "heinous" and said that the suspect, Kehinde John Moses, was arrested and during an interrogation he confessed to murdering the victim for "ritual purposes" with an unnamed partner who was with him on the bus.
"The commissioner of police, CP Mohammed Lawal Bagega wishes to advise criminals to vacate Kwara State, as the Command possesses the capacity to deploy all legal means to deal with criminals, if that is what it will take to ensure the good people of Kwara live in peace at all times," Okasanmi said.
