Police nab cleric for killing client, dismembering body
The Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan on Friday ordered that a cleric, Abass Tiamiyu be remanded in prison custody for murder.
The police charged Mr Tiamiyu with conspiracy and murder.
Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Idowu did not take the plea of Mr Tiamiyu, for want of jurisdiction.
The magistrate said the remand was pending the outcome of legal advice from the Oyo Ministry of Justice.
He adjourned the matter until July 19 for mention.
Prosecution counsel Olusegun Adegboye told the court that Mr Tiamiyu and a suspect at large between May 10 and May 11, at Oyetoro community, Oroki area, Oyo, caused the death of the victim Barakat Belahu, 25.
”The victim was a client of the defendant. After murdering her, he dismembered her. He put her remains in a sack and dumped her decomposing body by a stream,” said the police.
