A shocking confession video is going viral on social media, leaving many Nigerians horrified. In the clip, a man calmly admits he was paid just ₦4,000 to kill a woman who had come looking for spiritual help.
He says the woman was brought from Sango-Ota area to a location in Badagry by a herbalist known as Baba Ronke and an Islamic cleric. According to his confession, the killers made the woman kneel as if she was about to pray. They tied her eyes with her own scarf, held her hands, and then he struck from behind with a knife.
He beheaded her and removed body parts that had already been ordered by buyers for ritual purposes. The man said this was the second time he and Baba Ronke carried out such a crime. He told police he used the ₦4,000 to buy food for his family.
Baba Ronke is still on the run.The video, which has spread quickly on X, Facebook and Instagram, has sparked anger and sadness online. Many people are asking how someone could take a life for so little money. Others say it shows the dark side of some spiritual healers who lure desperate women and sell their body parts.
No official names of the victim or the arrested man have been released yet, and police have not made a public statement. The full details are still unclear, but the confession has left many calling for stronger action against ritual killings.
