Police Parade, Colonel YinusaThe Kwara State Police Command has arrested and paraded suspects ranging from culpable homicide and suspected ritual killers.

As part of efforts by the Kwara command of the Nigerian Police to rid the state of suspected ritual killers which has been rampant in recent times, the State Commissioner of Police, Sam Okaula paraded one suspect from Rore town near Omu Naran who allegedly killed a resident in his farm and beheaded him.

Parading the suspects, the State CP Okaula said the suspect killed and beheaded a man in his farm and the refusal of the herbalist to buy the head led to his arrest.

The suspect who displayed the head in an interview confessed to the killing alleging that the dead was a mad man that usually plucked fruits in his farm without his knowledge although saying he was drunk when he committed the act.

In another development, the police also paraded two brothers who allegedly killed another resident at Igba Iroko village while hawking drugs.

They confessed to the killing in order to implicate their eldest brother who was assumed to have taken a larger portion of the properties left behind by their late father adding that their brother is innocent of the act.

The Commissioner of Police assured of the readiness of the police to rid the state of criminals and urged the people to continue offering useful information to this effect.
