IT was a shocking discovery on Friday when a man was arrested with the decomposed head of his mother. The police in Benue State arrested one Teriyil Igbalumun with the said head in Mbativia in Gboko Local Government Area of the state.



According to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Samuel Jinadu, the policemen arrested the man after they got a tip-off, adding that the man was arrested while attempting to dig the grave of one of his brothers to remove his head.

He disclosed to journalists that the man had removed the decomposed head of his mother who died in 2002 from her grave and had kept it in his room. He added that the man claimed he was worshipping the head daily in his room.

On searching the room, the policemen found the head in one part of the room and when he was interrogated on how he got the head, the suspect admitted that it was that of his late mother.

He said that the suspect severed his late mother’s head early this year and was on the verge of cutting off his late brother’s head too when the police caught him as he was digging the grave.

Jinadu said they were still investigating the suspect to know why he engaged in such an act, adding that it was strange that any sane person would dig up the grave of his mother and sever the head.
