On Monday, the social media space went agog with reports of the gospel singer who was caught with a nylon bag containing the severed head of his supposed girlfriend.
Social media users and eyewitness accounts said flies were following the singer with the nylon bag which he was carrying thus drawing people’s attention to the content of the bag.
It was at that instant that passersby stopped him and found out that the bag he carried contained a fresh human head.
They raised an alarm, tied him down until then police arrived and picked up the gospel singer.
