“The police have taken away the body of the little. I know the girl very well, we used to call her ‘Mama’. The suspect killed her in cold blood. At first, we thought it was a thief, but further findings revealed that the guy is a ritualist,” she said

Another resident claims the suspect who is a ritualist had been hibernating in an empty building in the area.

“When we searched further, we discovered that the man had charms and a goat hidden in an empty building close to his victim’s house.
