Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A 29-year-old Islamic cleric, Mohammed Bello, has claimed that Hafsoh Lawal, a woman he met on Facebook, died of an asthma attack before he dismembered her body in an attempt to conceal the incident.<\/p>\n

Bello was arrested in Ilorin after police traced Hafsoh\u2019s last known communication to him following her disappearance last Monday.<\/p>\n

The private school teacher was last seen leaving a naming ceremony to visit the cleric, but when she failed to return home, her family reported her missing.<\/p>\n

The suspect, in an interrogation video obtained by news men, alleged that he had gone out to buy food for Hafsoh when she suddenly began gasping for breath. Upon his return, he claimed, he found her lifeless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in shock when she died, so I couldn\u2019t cry out for help. I dismembered her body and disposed of it because I couldn\u2019t think of a better way,\u201d Bello said.<\/p>\n

However, Hafsoh\u2019s family dismissed his claims, insisting that she had no history of asthma.<\/p>\n

A family associate, Lawyer Odedele, questioned the suspect\u2019s account, stating that the victim had actively participated in cooking at the event before heading to meet him.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kwara State Police spokesperson Toun Ejire-Adeyemi said further details would be provided upon the conclusion of the investigation.<\/p>\n
