Police in Delta State have arrested a 33-year-old man, Gabriel Volts, for allegedly beheading his son for a money ritual.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command, DSP Bright Edafe, said this in a statement to newsmen in Warri, Delta State.
According to the statement, the suspect took his one year, eight months old son from his wife and then went to Etinabobo bush in Edo State, where he used a hand saw to cut off the head of the little boy and then buried him beside a palm tree.
“The suspect was arrested after the child went missing, and the suspect lied to the wife that the son was with his sister in Warri, which turned out to be false.
“This prompted the wife to be suspicious. So, she reported the matter to the police.
“Suspect has confessed to the alleged crime.”
