Why I murdered two brothers, by Kogi spiritualist
At Kugbani village, an agrarian settlement
located near Banda along Lokoja-Abuja
road in Lokoja local government area of
Kogi State, a spiritualist allegedly
murdered two brothers in cold blood. The
peaceful community was thrown into
confusion following the discovery and
exhumation of remains of two brothers
killed and buried in a shallow grave by a
self-acclaimed spiritualist called Malam
Ibrahim Mohammed.
Daily Trust gathered that the victims,
Muhammed Kudu Abubakar and Umar
Tanko Abubakar, who hailed from Bida
local government area of Niger State, had
visited the spiritualist for some spiritual
assistance to boost their business. They
were said to have left their family house
on January 10, 2016 but never returned, a
situation which forced their family
members to go all-out in search for them.
A family member of the deceased victims,
one Muhammed Abubakar reported the
matter to the Kogi Police Command on
February 2, 2016 and investigations were
launched into the incident. The
complainant had told the police that their
findings showed that the last cell phone
line that communicated with the
deceased was from one Malam Ibrahim
and that the call terminated at Karara
village near Lokoja.
Following the complaints, a team of
detectives from the State Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS) led by its Commander, DSP
Oluwadare Ayeni, swung into action and
based on forensic reports through call-
tracking, the spiritualist was picked up.
During interrogation, the suspect, Malam
Mohammed confessed that the duo came
to him on January 10, 2016 for ritual
sacrifice and that in the process, he
prepared a poisonous concoction for
them which they drank, and died. He also
confessed that he dug a shallow grave in
his compound where he buried the
victims.
Daily Trust gathered that the spiritualist
killed the two brothers who had come to
complain to him over the ineffectiveness
of the earlier potion he had given them at
huge cost. The fraudster then decided to
kill the brothers, by giving them a
poisonous concoction on pretext that it
was meant to cleanse them from ill-luck.
The team of SARS operatives which
exhumed the remains of the victims from
the suspect’s compound at Kugbani village
discovered that the suspect used a pestle
to smash his victims on their heads
before burying them. The team also
discovered that the suspect upon killing
them, took away their red Toyota Camry
car to Lokoja, where he reportedly
repainted it gold.
The suspect is currently under
interrogation at the Kogi Police Command
just as the State Commissioner of Police,
Besan Gwana has assured he will be
charged to court.
