The police in Delta state have arrested a A 33-year-old man, Gabriel Volts, for allegedly beheading his son for ritual purposes.
This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesperson of the police command, DSP Bright Edafe, on Sunday.
He said the suspect took his one year, eight months old son from his wife and then went to Etinabobo bush in Edo State where he used a hand saw to cut off the head of the little boy and then buried him beside a palm tree.
The statement said, “The suspect was arrested after the child went missing, and the suspect lied to the wife that the son was with his sister in Warri, which turned out to be false.
“This prompted the wife to be suspicious. So, she reported to the Police.
“Suspect has confessed to the alleged crime.”
