A 39-year-old pregnant woman, Esther Enemo, has been brutally murdered by her brother-in-law in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The incident occurred at Temidire Zone\u00a04, Egbejila<\/a>, on Wednesday night. Residents became suspicious on Thursday morning after a masked man, later identified as 29-year-old Sylvester Enemo, was seen leaving the victim\u2019s residence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Police operatives were alerted and later discovered Esther\u2019s dismembered body in a bush behind her house. Additional body parts were found in a sack under a nearby bridge.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The spokesperson of the Kwara State Police Command, Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, confirmed the arrest of the suspect, who is the younger brother of the victim\u2019s husband. The remains have been deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital mortuary for autopsy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, has ordered a full investigation and assured that justice will be served. He also appealed for calm and urged residents to assist with useful information.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Recall that only recently, an Islamic cleric, popularly known as Alfa, was convicted by a High Court in Ilorin for killing and dismembering a female student of the Kwara State Polytechnic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Beyond the growing threat of terrorist cells like the Mamudawa sect, ritual-related killings are increasingly becoming a disturbing trend in Kwara State. Security experts warn that unless law enforcement agencies act decisively, the menace could further take root in the society.<\/div>\n
