The police have confirmed the killing of a lady in her early 20s (name withheld) in a hotel in Adamawa State.
SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the spokesperson for the command, confirmed the incident in a statement on Friday in Yola.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the ritualist lodged the deceased in a hotel, had sexual intercourse with her before beheading her, and pretended to buy toilet tissue outside the hotel premises, leaving with the head of the young lady.

Babatola cautioned hoteliers to report people of questionable character to the police for immediate action and vowed to apprehend the suspect.
He reiterated the Command’s commitment to ensuring the protection of lives and property of people, promising to fish out the culprit.
He assured that the top management of security agencies in the state is putting heads together to arrest the suspect.
