the whereabouts of his grandson, he told his father that he left him
behind in the farm and that he would return later.
Days rolled by and the boy did not return from the farm which made
Guza to lodge a complaint at the Gombi divisional police station where
a search party was commissioned.

Buba under a tree in the farm covered with leaves.

stateCID with Baffa Alti however, denied ever telling him to bring a
human head.
The suspects, according to the police, will soon be charged to court
