A 16-year-old boy, simply identified as Azeez, has been arrested for allegedly killing a four- year -old -boy for rituals.
Azeez is being interrogated at the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Yaba, Lagos.
The suspect was arrested by policemen from Ijanikin station and handed over to the SCID.
He allegedly lured the deceased to the back of a primary school in Ijanikin where he killed the boy.
He was said to have removed the deceased’s intestine and kidney before he was arrested.
In his confessional statement, Azeez claimed that one Osho sent him, adding that the accomplice promised to give him N50,000 if he could get vital human organs.
“I live with my parents along Moshalashi Street, Ijanikin. The deceased is my neighbour’s son. His name is Ibrahim Hassan Jamiu. Sometime last month, Osho promised to give me N50,000 if I could help him get fresh human parts.
“At first, I did not want to succumb to the temptation but he kept coming. When I woke up this morning (yesterday) I saw Ibrahim at the back of the house. I told him to escort me to a primary school not too far from the house. He followed me to the place. On arrival, I stabbed him with a knife from behind. He fell down. I strangled him with a rope. I cut his stomach open with the knife. I am so sorry for what I did. If I had known that this thing will result to my arrest, I wouldn’t have agreed to kill the boy.”
Acting Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Patricia Amadin, a Deputy Superintendent, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect has since been transferred to the SCID, while the body had been deposited at a government mortuary.
She said the suspect was arrested following a tip-off.

You are an idiot. Even as an Ibo, I do not pray for Biafra talkless of war. Which tribe is most engrossed in rituals if not the Ibo's? 9Apologies to my Ibo brothers and sisters). Which tribe started it? Is Otokoto yoruba or Hausa. Biko mechie onu gi. Anu npam!

This demonic boy must not return to his community, he has to be prosecuted and kept in custody until he is matured for hanging or by firing squad. The spirit of bokoharam dwells in this boy. The Man who lured him to commit this dastardly act should also be arrested and prosecuted. This is the problem we are facing in the North east of Nigeria, children are very gullible if they don't have the right upbringing they are easily susceptible to whatever is in vogue. That is what bokoharam is working on to get is suicide bombers. The FG should be more responsible for the upbringing of children, Moral instruction should be re-introduced into the school curriculum.
