Three Islamic clerics are being held in connection with the killing and decapitation of a surveyor in the Moniya area of Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.
One of the clerics is said to be a landlord in the Alapata area of Apete in Ido Local Government Area. His house is said to be located a few blocks away from the surveyor’s office.
According to the Nigerian Tribune newspaper, the surveyor was popular among residents for selling and buying plots of land in the area.
One of the suspects who had worked with the surveyor was said to have lured him to a bush in Moniya with an offer of a job. Once there, he was k#lled and decapitated.
It is reported that the trio were arrested in the Sango area of Ibadan North Local Government Area on Thursday, a development which threw the Alapata community into confusion.
