A 25-year-old man identified simply as Daniel has been arrested for allegedly beheading his 15-year-old brother, Emmanuel, in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State. The incident occurred on Monday evening, July 27, at a river in the community known as Origbara river. According to local residents, the shocking act has caused widespread panic and confusion throughout the town. Sources said Daniel was caught by a farmer who saw him attempting to conceal his brothers severed head in a bag. The motive for the killing remains unclear, though neighbours reported that the brothers had earlier engaged in a minor quarrel. Some people living close to them had stated that the two of them had earlier engaged in the usual siblings quarrel. But we believe there will be more to it. In this town, if anyone sheds human blood for the purpose of a money ritual or under any circumstances, the person will be exposed instantly, a resident said. Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Olayinka Ayanlade, stated that the Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Lawal, has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. Ayanlade added that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further action.The post
