The Kwara State Police Command has arrested a 29-year-old man for allegedly killing and dismembering his pregnant sister-in-law, Mrs. Esther Enemo, in Temidire community, Ilorin.
Police spokesperson Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi said the incident occurred on August 21, when residents reported suspicious activity at the victim’s residence.
Detectives later discovered her dismembered body in a bush behind her home, with other parts hidden in a sack and dumped under a nearby bridge.
