"Barbaric, Unlawful, Ungodly" - CDHR Reacts To Ritual Killing In Ilorin, Demands Justice for Victim
The shocking revelation by Abdulrahman’s supposed grandfather has raised even more disturbing questions: Who is backing him?
After the brutal murder of an innocent girl, 12 pairs of female shoes were discovered in his room—Hafsoh Lawal’s pair making it the 13th. This is no ordinary crime; it reeks of something more sinister, something organized.
If Nollywood has taught us anything, it’s that justice isn’t always served when powerful interests are involved. This boy has powerful people shielding him. They will ensure he gets top-tier legal defense, possibly reducing his sentence or even orchestrating his quiet relocation abroad. The system is known to protect people like him, and history has shown us that those involved in such atrocities often have strong backing.
There is a huge market for human body parts, and it is common knowledge that only those with serious connections engage in this trade. Abdulrahman was clearly not acting alone. He knew precisely what body parts to remove, how to extract them, and where to sell them. A man with such knowledge isn’t just an impulsive killer—he’s part of something bigger. Someone taught him the trade, and someone was waiting for the delivery.
But here’s the critical question: Where is the rest of Hafsoh Lawal’s body?
The hands, blood, and other scanty body parts weren’t just there —they were probably waiting to be collected by buyers. If the police had arrived a little later, they might have found nothing, allowing Abdulrahman to deny ever seeing the girl. Because in court, knives, cutlasses, and a blood-stained table aren’t enough. Without a body, there’s no murder case—just a missing person’s file.
And why the persistent asthma attack defense? That story is too well-rehearsed, too convenient. It suggests coaching, possibly by lawyers, security operatives, or other professionals determined to distort justice.
There is more to this case than meets the eye, and it demands deeper investigation. Who are his sponsors? Who is protecting him? Who else is involved?
Justice for Hafsoh Lawal must not be buried in the shadows of power and influence.
