DEATH SENTENCE: Man Who Killed Final-Year Student for Rituals to Hang — Court Frees Four Others Justice has finally caught up with Abdulrahman Bello, who lured his girlfriend, Hafsoh Lawal — a final-year student — to his home, murdered her in cold blood, and dismembered her body for ritual purposes. Delivering the verdict on Thursday, Justice Hannah Ajayi sentenced Bello to death by hanging, describing the crime as "cruel, wicked, and an extreme display of human wickedness." She revealed that Bello's confession of love and marriage plans were lies used to lure the victim to her death. The judge cleared four other defendants — Ahmed Abdulwasiu, Jamiu Uthman, Suleiman Muyideen, and Abdulrahman Jamiu — of all charges and set them free, stating there was no evidence linking them to the crime. The horrific incident occurred on February 10, 2025, in the Olunlade area of Ilorin. Upon his arrest, police found Hafsoh’s severed palm, a bottle of blood, her personal belongings, and the cutlass used in the murder inside Bello’s room. Other body parts were later discovered at a nearby dumpsite. #JusticeForHafsoh #RitualKilling #KwaraState #DeathSentence #CourtVerdict #FinalYearStudent #SayNoToRituals
