Thursday’s incident is coming less than 7months after the community recorded series of beheading of persons in what locals described as “beheading for ritual purposes.”

Condemning yesterday’s incident, the Ovie of Oghara Kingdom, HRM Noble Eshimetan, Orefe III, while confirming the incident, expressed worries and fears over the ugly act.

He said: “We had earlier constituted a vigilante outfit to work in synergy with the police to avoid the reoccurrence of such ugly acts, so am equally shocked on this incident.”
