A Muslim cleric, identified as Mohammed, has been arrested in connection with the disappearance and tragic death of final-year student Hafusa in Kwara State. According to reports, Mohammed, who met Hafusa on Facebook, claimed they were in a relationship and that she visited his rented apartment in Olumbade after attending a school event.
Mohammed stated that Hafusa, who had previously disclosed her asthma condition, began struggling to breathe before he left to buy her food. He claimed he was in shock when she passed away and, out of fear, failed to seek medical help. Instead, he admitted to dismembering her body and disposing of the remains at a public refuse dump.
In his confession, Mohammed insisted he did not kill Hafusa but described himself as a "victim of circumstance." He emphasized that this was his first time engaging in such an act, denying any prior criminal behavior.
The case has sparked outrage, with authorities launching a full investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding Hafusa’s death. Many social media users have reacted with disbelief and anger, calling for justice.
Law enforcement officials continue to gather evidence, and Mohammed remains in custody as the investigation unfolds. Authorities have urged the public to remain patient as they work toward uncovering the full truth behind the tragic incident.
