It was a scene of horror on Friday morning when staff members of a hotel woke to find the decapitated body of a woman in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
SaharaReporters learnt that a man on Thursday, January 18 checked into the hotel with the lady at about 7 pm. Her headless body was later found by the hotel workers while the man reportedly fled with the head.
According to one of the staff members, the man drugged his victim before cutting off her head.
The staff member who spoke to SaharaReporters on condition of anonymity said, “This is a rude shock. He left the hotel after one and a half hours, purportedly to pick up some items at a nearby store.”
The State police command confirmed the incident on Friday morning.
