• The video has generated widespread outrage online, with many Nigerians demanding justice for the victim while urging law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and establish the facts surrounding the alleged confession.

A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage after a man identified as Paul, described in posts as a suspected internet fraudster, allegedly confessed to killing a woman for ritual purposes.

According to the claims made in the viral video, the suspect said he lured the victim to an uncompleted building, where he allegedly drugged her with a mixture of codeine and Sprite before strangling her.

He further claimed that he cut off parts of the victim’s body, including her eyes, tongue, lungs, and buttocks, allegedly following instructions from a traditional spiritualist, commonly referred to as a “baba.”

The authenticity of the confession video and the circumstances surrounding it have not been independently verified, and authorities have yet to issue an official statement confirming the details circulating online.

The disturbing video has generated widespread reactions, with many Nigerians condemning the alleged crime while others objected to the suspect being described as a “Yahoo boy,” arguing that ritual killings should not be equated with internet fraud.
