A man has been arrested after he beheaded his young niece for money rituals.

Samuel Omosaba, the murderer

Omosaba, a jobless and single man who has been arrested by the police for the murder of the toddler identified as Adubarin Kola, had allegedly contacted a herbalist in Ipe-Akoko to make a charm for him so as to get rich and the herbalist reportedly told him he must provide the head of a baby for the money ritual that would make his a rich man.

It was gathered that the deceased kid was always left with grandmother anytime her mother, Bunmi, a trader, was going to the market to sell her goods.
