Herbalist allegedly kills and dumps client’s body on Lagos beach

A 55 year-old herbalist was over the weekend arrested by the Lagos State Police Command in connection with the alleged murder of a 62-year-old woman declared to be missing since last month at Olodi Apapa area of Lagos.

The suspect, who was identified as Isiaka Akanbi and claims to be a Muslim cleric, had the deceased’s personal effect exhumed from his shrine.

It was said that the victim, Raliatu Kareem,visited the herbalist in his shrine located on Lawani Street, Olodi Apapa, on October 25, 2014 before her mysterious disappearance. The late Kareem, who lived at 15 Ope-Ewe street in Ijaiye Agbado area of Lagos was reported to have gone on a visit to a relative who had a baby at Salubi Street, Olodi Apapa.

But while returning, she informed her relative that she was going to the herbalist’s place.However, there was apprehension two days later, after the undisclosed relative got a call from Agbado Ijaye, demanding for the whereabouts of Mrs Kareem.

Policemen from Tolu division then got involved which led to the arrest of the herbalist. Police sources hinted that the herbalist eventually confessed that he dumped Mrs Kareem’s remains at Marine beach.

A Police source said: “But when we went to where he claimed to have dumped the corpse, we did not find it. During interrogation, he said he did not kill his client but that she slumped and died while in his shrine which he claimed doubles as a healing home.

“He collected the deceased’s personal effects which included handset, bangles and ring and buried them behind his compound so as not to leave any trace. But the lid was blown because the relative who the deceased went to visit was aware of the visit to the Alfa’s home. We are still searching for the corpse. Its recovery will form another phase in our investigation.”

In his reaction, the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos State, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the arrest of Akanbi, but stressed that investigation is on-going.
