Arike, however, did not go into details of what happened to the suspect after he was caught.

“I got the shock of my life as we apprehended a Yahoo ritual with a human head (his girlfriend) inside a nylon close to our church as we were holding service. I thought I just used to watch things like this until I experienced one ‘Live’ today.”

Reacting to the tragedy, Adeh clarified that the incident did not happen in Abuja as widely reported but in the neighbouring Nasarawa state.

The police PRO said:

“To clarify, the incident above did not occur in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) but in Nasarawa State. We kindly urge everyone to ensure accuracy in such reports for better public understanding,”

According to a video shared on social media, the suspect was seen carrying a black nylon, with flies following him.
