I’m just a victim of circumstance, says cleric who killed Kwara final year student

The 29-year-old Islamic teacher, Abdulrahman Bello, arrested for allegedly murdering a final-year student at Kwara State College of Education, Yetunde Lawal, in a trending video, claimed he is innocent and a “victim of circumstance.”

Bello, who introduced himself as Mohammed, denied any involvement in Yetunde’s death, stating that she was his girlfriend.

“My name is Mohammed. I’m a Muslim cleric,” he said.

When questioned about his education, he responded, “I’m on the verge of being accepted into KWASU.”

Talking about the victim, he said, “The girl is Hafusa. She is my girlfriend. I met her on Facebook.”

He maintained: “I didn’t murder her. I’m merely a victim of the situation.”

Describing what happened, he said: “She informed me that there was an event at 1 pm after school that day. She returned home after 3 pm. When she arrived, she mentioned she had not eaten, so I went to get her some food. But when I returned, she was struggling to breathe.”

Bello alleged that Yetunde had previously told him she was asthmatic.

“I was in shock when she passed away, and I could not call for help. I cut up her body and got rid of it at the public dump because I did not know what else to do. I.hsve never done anything like this before; it is my first time,” he stated.

However, the police discovered fetish items in Bello’s residence, raising suspicions that this may not have been his first crime.

The police are currently investigating the case, and Bello’s claim of being a “victim of circumstance” will be thoroughly examined.
