The call was traced to an individual living in the Offa Garage area of Ilorin metropolis, although his family home is in Isalekoto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspect was arrested but initially denied any knowledge of the lady\u2019s whereabouts. However, when the police searched his house, he confessed that the lady had visited him and had died from an asthma attack after he invited her over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon further investigation, the police discovered the lady\u2019s body, dismembered and hidden in a bowl, along with the tools used to dismember her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the suspect, they met on Facebook, where he obtained her phone number. He then called her and invited her to his house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisturbingly, evidence found in the suspect\u2019s residence suggests this may not be his first offence. A table in his room appeared to be equipped with tools used for dismembering bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case is currently under investigation at the Kwara State Police Command headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the incident, the spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed: \u201cThe command is aware of the gruesome killing of one Miss Yetunde H. Lawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn 11\/02\/2025, at about 18:00 hours, a case of a missing person was reported at C Division, Oja-Oba, by her father, Mr Ibrahim A. Lawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmediately, police detectives swung into action, tracked her number, and arrested a suspect. The case was transferred yesterday to the SCID for a thorough investigation. Further updates will be communicated as the investigation progresses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
