Police in Kwara have arrested a suspected ritualist who killed and dismembered his girlfriend, a final-year student, after luring her through social media.


A final-year student of Kwara State College of Education, Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde, has been brutally murdered and dismembered by her boyfriend, whom she met on social media, in what is suspected to be a ritual killing.
Yetunde was last seen on Monday, February 10, 2025, when she left a naming ceremony after receiving a call from a friend. When she failed to return, her family reported her disappearance to the Oja Oba Police Station in Ilorin. Using her phone records, the police tracked her last call to a suspect living in the Offa Garage District.
Upon his arrest, the suspect initially denied any involvement but later confessed, claiming Yetunde died from an asthma attack after he invited her over. However, during a search of his residence, police discovered her dismembered body hidden in a bowl, along with tools believed to have been used in the act.
Authorities have since transferred the suspect to the police headquarters in Ilorin for further investigation. Sources revealed that disturbing evidence found at the scene suggests he may have committed similar crimes before.
