Citi News reported that the girl went missing shortly after her mother stepped out of their house, and a frantic search ensued when the child could not be found upon the mother’s return.

The girl’s clothes were found stained with blood on the compound of a man identified as Ahiable Yao David, a local vendor.

Police were immediately notified, and during a search of the suspect’s room, officers reportedly uncovered a buried pot beneath his bed containing human body parts believed to belong to the missing child.
