It was gathered that some residents suspicious of the movement of the man, had alerted security agents.
In a video footage recorded at the scene of the crime, the suspect was made to bring out mutilated human body parts from a bag, as some of the bystanders beat the man with sticks and hurled curses on him.
Also in the video, the suspect could be heard denying involvement in ritual killing and cursing people he said set him up.

“Going by what the suspect said when I got to the scene, there is need for thorough investigation. The suspect said his step-daughter fought her husband and he intervened and took the woman away from the husband.
“And because of that, the husband vowed to implicate and send him to prison for taking the woman away from his house. When I asked security men how they got the information, I was told someone called to inform them about it.
“The informant eventually turned out to be the same husband who had vowed to implicate the man. In that wise, we have to be very careful and investigate properly in order to ensure justice.”
