Following the discovery of the lifeless body of an unidentified middle-aged man without his head and manhood in Bole, the severed head has now been found, according to the Member of Parliament for Bole-Bamboi.

In a Myjoyonline.com report, the lawmaker Yusif Sulemana said the severed head was found wrapped in a black polythene bag within the township.

Mr. Sulemana believes that the perpetrator likely intended to abscond with the head but abandoned it for unknown reasons.

He further revealed that authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any further violent escalation.

"It tells you that the person was trying to run away with it but I think for some reason decided to leave it there, and we are still monitoring to see how we can handle the situation,” myjoyonline.com quoted him.

This comes hours after the body was retrieved from the St. Kizito Primary School in Bole.

The middle-aged man was found naked by a search party comprising police and community members, lying in the school building without his head and manhood as residents suspect ritualistic killing.

Similar recent incidents have plunged the township into fear.

Assembly member for the Mempaeasem electoral area, Abu Hassan, raised concerns over the recent killings, describing the situation as serious and alarming.

Mr. Hassan expressed concern over the increase in new residents in the township, suggesting their involvement in the gruesome murders.

He has called on the security agencies and government to reinforce police personnel to provide maximum security.
