A father of three, Sakiru Bello, who is currently being investigated at the homicide unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department has said he only cut his wife in to pieces but he didn’t kill her.

Sakiru’s late wife, Sherifat Bello was found dismembered with parts buried in different shallow graves in an uncompleted building.

The 36-year-old suspect explained that his wife got hit by a bike, and she later died from internal injuries she sustained. He said he was confused an didn’t know what to do except to cut her into pieces and bury her.

Sakiru told Vanguard: “I called her on February 13 and she came to see me at home. Later, both of us went to the Island. It was on our way back that a commercial bus hit the bike that we boarded and she fell, hitting her head on the ground.

“When we got home, she started complaining of pain in the head and then she died. I didn’t take her to the hospital because I didn’t have money.

“After she died, I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t call her family members since we aren’t in good terms. It was while thinking about what to do that a thought came into my mind that I should cut her corpse into pieces to enable me dispose off her remains easily.

“So I cut her head, her breast, her leg and other parts of her body. I later wrapped them in a sack before taking it to an uncompleted building, where I buried the parts in different holes.”

But the deceased’s family are accusing the suspect of attempting to use their child for rituals. The deceased’s sister, Shakirat recalled that her dead sister had once complained to her that her husband was trying to use her for rituals.
