An Area Court Judge, Mallam Kazeem Zakari, in Yashikira, Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State has been allegedly beheaded by a Fulani man. The man, who is now on the run, was said to have murdered the judge at his residence shortly after the judge acceded to a request by the killer’s wife to summarilly terminate their marriage.

According to Daily Sun source, parents of the Fulani man’s wife had instituted a divorce suit before the area court in Yashikira over constant battering and bashing of their daughter by the husband whom they described as a ‘rascal.’

The judge, it was gathered, after hearing and careful deliberation of the case reportedly granted the parent’s prayers.
Displeased with the ruling, the man who currently at large allegedly resolved to ‘deal’ with the judge personally.
Daily Sun was reliably informed the on that fateful day, the judge, who was said to have reported for duty, dashed home after adjournment only to meet his untimely death in the hands of his alleged assailant.

It was gathered that at the close of work, when the court clerk and court assistant took the late judge’s books to his home, they met his head already severed off his lifeless body, lying by the window side.
The spokesperson of the Kwara State Police Command, Dabo Ezekiel(ASP) confirmed the incident.
He added that the command was yet to link anybody to the crime.
The spokesperson disclosed that the corpse of the judge had already been released for burial.
It was also gathered that the remains of the late judge had since been interred at his country home, Okuta in the same local government.
