Shakiru Bello, who was arrested for allegedly
killing his wife, Sherifat, said he cut her
remains into pieces to escape the wrath of her
father, Akeem Atanda, and to avoid being
prosecuted for her death, reports Punch
Aproko.
Shakiru added that after hiding her remains in
different uncompleted buildings in Lagos, he
fled to Ibadan, Oyo State. Sherifat’s head and
neck were recovered in Morocco, Yaba, while
other parts of her body were recovered in
another uncompleted building on Moshalashi
Street, Somolu.
Sherifat and Shakiru, who were married for
over 9 years, were separated in July 2016.
Sherifat had, however, last Monday reportedly
demanded money for the upkeep of their three
children. Shakiru was said to have invited her
to a location where they allegedly met. She
never returned home.
The victim’s father, Akeem, on Tuesday
reported a case of missing person to the
police, leading to a search for the suspect. A
source said Akeem told policemen that an
unidentified number called him that his
daughter fell into a lagoon.
The source said, “The police tracked the
number, and discovered that the caller was in
Ibadan. He (Shakiru) was arrested and
brought down to Lagos around 1am on
Saturday.”
The suspect was said to have led the police to
the two uncompleted buildings where the
remains of the late Sherifat were recovered.
Shakiru said, “After we separated, I secretly
reconciled with her and we started meeting.
On the average, I gave her N15,000 in a week.
On that Monday, she called me that she
needed money and we agreed to meet. I gave
her N10,000 that evening. I took her to my
house on Olaleye Street, Somolu, around
12am. I went out to get her balm and some
drugs.
Unfortunately, she died. I was afraid of her
father, who didn’t want to see us together.
Also, I couldn’t report to the police, so I
decided to cut her into pieces.” A police
source, however, said that Sherifat’s private
parts were missing, saying the suspect might
not be acting alone.

suspect claims has a good heart that's why he
called his wife's father to let him know she fell
inside a lagoon, "I didn't want him to think
too much." He said.[/color]
