Some of the traders and shop owners in the vicinity refused to open their shops for business, for fear of being arrested by the law enforcement agents.
A resident of the area, who did not want his name mentioned said the victim had been homeless for some months and had been sleeping beside the road in the area begging for alms from passers- by
He added that suspected ritualists would have carried out the dastardly act.
