Shocking! Father Kills 4-Month Old Son for Ritual in Kogi state

Suspect exhuming his son's corpse
The police command in Kogi state have arrested a middle aged man, Mr Hosea Folorunsho in Egbe town of Yagba West local government council for the alleged gruesome murder of his son for ritual purpose.

Briefing journalists on the arrest in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Katsina says the suspect, a herbalist, also buried the child in a shallow grave in his own compound.

There's a video of the report after the cut...but please be warned...the images are quite disturbing...


The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Katsina while parading the suspect, Chief Hosea Folorunsho, at the state command headquarters, Lokoja-the state capital, disclosed that on the 31st of December 2012, the herbalist killed his son for alleged ritual.

Narrating the police investigation, the police boss, Mr Katsina disclosed that on the New Year’s Eve, at about 11:55PM, the suspect quietly took the baby named Sunday Folorunsho who was asleep in the middle of the night and murdered him in gruesome circumstances.

He added that having accomplished his mission, the suspect dug a shallow grave in his compound and hurriedly buried the corpse of the baby.

The police escorted Mr Folorunsho to his compound where the baby’s corpse was buried and he was then asked to exhume the corpse.

Digging out the corpse of the baby, he handed over the body to a pathologist who conducted an autopsy on the dead baby.

The autopsy result read that the child died of multiple fractures through the application of blunt object and trauma.

The 48 year old suspect, a native of Egbe in Yagba West Local Government Area (LGA) of the state is married with three other kids.

This man needs psychological evaluation! He is in sane.

Olu said...

Speechless but things does not add up here. How was he caught? Maybe the wife or neighbor saw him? If so, the police should have said so.
Now what about the full report of the autopsy? Was any part of the baby missing? Did this man killed the baby in public or took the baby somewhere to be killed? Since the baby was buried at home, probably this man killed the baby at home? If this is so, this man could be mentally challenged? Did he not realized that someone would hear the cries of the dying child? The police need to do a thorough job here and give us the full report.
Our government should start enforcing our laws. If anybody is found to have murdered somebody, that person should be hanged immediately after a full and rapid investigation. And the news about the hanging should be put out to the public to let everybody, especially potential murderers know that the law is there. There is no need putting that person in jail for a long time. There are so many killers in prison waiting to be hanged but the government is not hanging them rapidly enough. The prison is so full of these useless people. The government should also start an enlightenment campaign that killing somebody for ritual can never make you rich. It is beyond comprehension that someone will kill his own child just because he wants to be rich or powerful.
Also this man should receive psychiatric assessment Because this man may be a pure nut case.Hearing this kind of news , this new year make one wonder what is really going on. Now it is all about money, money and money with no explanation how that person get the money. Yea, this person just bought this, that person just acquire that. This is what it leads to. It is so sad. If somebody can kill his own child for ritual, then we have reached a point of no return as a nation. We need a messiah to come and purge us of this type of individuals, and definitely not the kind of our present day leaders/politicians.

He is likely to rot and die in prison if prisoners get to know what he did because they will make his life hell on earth. I hope the court delivers a judgement of decades of imprisonment on him. Ika!

@Olu, he is not mentally deranged. Don't allow this devil to get a lighter sentence in court joor! He is a Babalawo (witch doctor)which is a profession. Are all witch doctors mad?

He wanted to make voodoo money and become rich in 2013 but the child's head was too strong.

I somewhat agree with you @ Olu. How was he caught exactly. Yea he was caught after all. But the police know how to insinuate that they were probably there when things go wrong. If someone saw him but didn't want to be named, then they should mention it than giving us half baked stories.

Anonymous said...

Did he get the money he was looking for? No .Answer. There is no food 4 a lazy man. Even the devil does not want to be associated with lazy people. To be rich you have to work hard and be inventive. You are only deceiving yourself, if u think killing your fellow human being for ritual purposes will make you rich.
