I strangled 24-year-old final year student during sex – Cleric confesses
Abdulrahman Bello, a 29-year-old Islamic cleric, had shockingly confessed to strangling 24-year-old Hafsoh Lawal to death during sex.
The shocking revelation was made during a court sitting on 4th June before a judge, Anna Olushoda Ajayi in Kwara State.
Two witnesses were present: Ayodeji Joshua, a DSS officer, and Dr Kunle Adebowale, Vice Chairman of CDHR.
Ayodeji presented a video recording in which Abdulrahman confessed to the crime. The entire courtroom fell silent as everyone felt the pain Hafsoh must have experienced in her final moments.
The judge adjourned the case to 11th June for Abdulrahman to testify to the video’s contents.
The tragic tale began on 10th February 2025 when Hafsoh, a final-year student at Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, went missing.
She had attended a naming ceremony that day. While eating at the event, she received a phone call and left, never to be seen again.
Her father, Mr Ibrahim A. Lawal, reported her missing at the C Division Oja Oba Police the next day. Police investigations quickly led to Abdulrahman Bello.

Forensic analysis traced Hafsoh’s last phone call to him. Abdulrahman, an Islamic cleric from Offa Garage, Ilorin, initially denied knowing her.
However, police searching his home were horrified to find Hafsoh’s dismembered body stuffed inside a bowl.
Faced with the evidence, Abdulrahman changed his story. He now claimed that Hafsoh had died from an asthma attack while at his home.
Investigators remained unconvinced, especially after finding tools that suggested she had been cut up deliberately. Many now believe Hafsoh’s killing was for ritual purposes.
It was revealed that Abdulrahman and Hafsoh had met on Facebook and on that fateful day, he lured her to his house under the pretext of a friendly visit.
