An Ilorin man, Abdulrahman Mohad Ballo, has been arrested after he was found with dismembered body of a missing student of Kwara State College of Education, Lawal Hafsoh Yetunde.
It was gathered that the suspect who connected with the victim on Facebook lured her to the Offa Garage area of Ilorin while she was attending a naming ceremony with her family.
Reports revealed that the victim received a phone call on the 10th of February, 2025 left her food to answer the call and then disappeared. Family members and friends searched for her in vain before reporting her disappearance to the police at the Oja Oba Station in Ilorin the following day.
Police investigators used her phone records to trace her last call, leading them to Ballo, who resides in the Offa Garage area of Ilorin, though his family house is in Isalekoto.
It was learnt that the suspect denied any involvement in the disappearance. Meanwhile, Ballo claimed that Hafsoh had died from an asthma attack after visiting his residence.
However, a search of his residence uncovered the gruesome truth as Yetunde’s dismembered body was found hidden in a bowl, along with tools used to mutilate her remains
Further evidence suggested that this was not Ballo’s first victim, as investigators found a table equipped with body dismemberment tools in his room.
Ballo, reportedly the son of a prominent but recently deceased cleric in Isalekoto, Ilorin, is now in police custody at the Kwara State Police Headquarters as investigations continue.
