Court remands cleric for killing friend

A Lagos State Magistrate Court, sitting in Ebute Metta, has ordered the remand in prison of Fatai Afobaje (a.k.a Alfa), who allegedly killed his friend, Rafiu Sulaimon, and shared his body parts.

The Magistrate, A. O. Komolafe, said Afobajea should be remanded pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

The incident which attracted media attention, in February 2015, had it that the suspect met the victim in a commercial bus few years back, when the latter did him a favour of paying his transport fare.

It was also gathered that Alfa allegedly cast a spell on Sulaiman and defrauded him of his monthly salaries, which the victim was always turning over to him after each month’s pay.
