“On the second day, I asked a commercial motorcycle rider to take me to the bush where I left her; I observed that she was not dead and I used a stoned to hit her head and she died immediately.
“My parents became curious when they did not see her and I was arrested by Police in Ayede Ogbese and from there, they transferred me to anti-cultism in Akure”.
The State Police commissioner, Mrs. Hilda Ibifuro-Harrison confirmed the incident. She added that said Nifemi’s remains were recovered in the bush by men of the Special Anti-cultism squad.
