“The police reported that Raimi was apprehended with the severed head and confessed to the crime, implicating one Sumaila, also known as Baba Ibeji, who is currently at large

“Raimi revealed their intention to use the skull for a money ritual. The investigation is ongoing, and further developments will be communicated.”
