OMG! Headless Body Found At A Church's Prayer Centre

What a tragedy! A yet-to-be identified man has been beheaded at Amese community in Akure, the Ondo State capital beside a mountain where some people from a church go to pray and worship.

The worshippers who went to pray at the mountain on Wednesday, were said to have found the headless body of the man at the base of the mountain.

It was gathered that this prevented the worshippers from holding their usual prayer session as they quickly went to the police station to report the matter.

Unfortunately, usual of Nigeria police, they were said to have detained those who went to report the matter before sending a team to the area to remove the corpse.

A resident, who spoke to PUNCH on condition of anonymity, said, “After the matter had been reported at the Ijapo Police Station, the policemen combed the entire area, arresting residents indiscriminately. Those that went to report at the police station were also detained by the police. The police said the arrest of the people was part of their investigation.”

The residents also alleged that the policemen left the community where the incident happened and went to nearby communities to make arrest, disclosing that as a result of this, many residents of the area had fled their homes.

Another source explained that the deceased must have been killed somewhere else and dumped in the area.
