L-R; Mr. Isiaka Akanbi and his dead victim 'Raliatu Kareem'

 Muslim cleric also known as 'Alfa' whose real names are 'Mr. Isiaka Akanbi' was reported to have killed a 62-year old woman named 'Raliatu Kareem'  after robbing her of her wallet and other personal belongings.

Following report from Punch News, Alfa is an owner of a traditional healing center at Lawani street, in  Olodi Apapa, Lagos state, while his dead victim was living at Agbado Ijaiye, Lagos, and have been his close customer for several years. But it was sad that on Saturday, 25th October, 2014, while Raliatu informed her household that she's going to pay a visit to her niece who just gave birth to a baby at Olodi Apapa area, then from there she headed to Alfa's place at around 6pm.

That was the last time she was seen, until report came from the men of the Nigerian Police force that she's been murdered, after the investigations they conducted, following the complaint lodged by her family about her missing.

“On the evening of October 26, it is true that she visited me. We have been very good friends too. On that day, she just collapsed and became unconscious. I quickly rushed her to a nearby hospital, but I was shocked when the nurses told me she had died. I got a NAPEP tricycle and took her corpse to the Marine Bridge that same night and abandoned it there. I did not want people to trace her corpse to me. When I got home, I buried her wallet, handset, bangle and ring behind my house. I did not kill her. I am an Alfa, I do favour charms for traders. I met Raliatu in 1986. Since then, we have been family friends. She used to come to my place for consultation and I had been to her house too.”

 Abdullahi, One of the deceased's children, stated, thus;

“I have seen the man in our house a number of times. But he said she died in his house and he now took her corpse to Marina Bridge and abandoned it. We want him to produce that corpse so that we can bury her appropriately.”

After contacting all relevant agencies in the state, the family said the corpse had yet to be found.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the case and that it has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department, Yaba .
