Muslims find headless corpse outside Ilorin mosque

Worshippers at a mosque in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara state, must have been shocked at the sight of a decapitated corpse dumped on the entrance of the religious place.

A report alleged some cultists killed the deceased, identified as 23 years old tricycle driver by name, Samad.

In the blood-curling murder, the assailants plucked out Samadā€™s eyes and severed his head from his torso.

The victim reportedly walked into his death without knowing that some armed cultists had laid in wait for him. An eyewitness said Samad tried to outsmart his attackers by fleeing but they eventually shot him to death.

ā€œAfter he was confirmed dead, his corpse was dragged to the main road in front of the mosque while his left eye and left hand were removed and taken away,ā€ the eyewitness said in the report.

Samadā€™s killing preceded another that happened two weeks prior, in which some cultists shot two people to death.

The police in the state said that investigation had begun on the killing.
