Residents of the Arigidi Akoko area of Ondo state were treated to a gruesome sight after the decapitated corpse of a young woman was found in the area.
The mutilated body was discovered by passersby over the weekend along the side of the Ogbagi/Arigidi Akoko road.
The deceased woman, who is yet to be identified, is believed to have been around 25 to 30 years of age.
The current theory being passed around by members of the community is that the woman was beheaded by ritualists who, after perpetrating their evil act, proceeded to dump her lifeless, headless body.
The police in the state have confirmed the unfortunate development and have begun investigation into the matter.
