16 YEAR OLD BOY KILLS AND DISSECTS 4-YEAR-OLD NEIGHBOR IN LAGOS

Tajudeen Azeez, 16, is presently being detained at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba for allegedly killing Ibrahim Hassan Jamiu, 4. He was arrested by policemen from Ijanikin Police Station and
transferred to SCID, Panti, for further investigations. He lured Ibrahim to the back of Anglican Primary School, Ijanikin where he killed him in cold blood. He then removed his intestine and kidney before he was arrested.

In his confessional statement, he said: “I live with my parents along Moshalashi Street, Ijanikin. The deceased is my neighbour’s son. Some time last month Osho promised to give me N50,000 if I could help get fresh human parts. At first, I did not want to succumb to the temptation but it kept coming. When I woke up this morning I saw Ibrahim at the back of house. I told him to escort me to a primary school not too far from house. He followed me to the place. On arrival I stabbed him with a knife from behind. He fell down. I strangled him with a rope.

I then cut his stomach open with the knife.” The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Ijanikin Police Station got an intelligence information about the activity of a boy seen behind a public primary school. Based on the strength of the information, the DPO and his men raced to the place. On arrival they found the lifeless body of Ibrahim while Tajudeen was soaked in his blood. Vital organs such as the kidney and intestine had been removed from the deceased. All the organs were kept in a black nylon bag.
