The recent killing of three females at Akinyele local government area of Oyo State are for ritualistic purposes, the caretaker chairman of Akinyele South LCDA, Hon. Ahmed Kazeem Adekunle has alleged.
The LG boss, who revealed this while speaking with newsmen on Saturday night, also stated that the latest victim, Grace Oshiagwu, was butchered on the head in four different spots.
Narrating how the incident occurred, the LG boss said, “I went to a particular hospital to see a patient, I made a phone call to the Divisional Police Officer on the issue of security in my Council. The DPO asked me to come to where he was that another sad event had taken place at Idi Ori, Express, behind a newly constructed filling station called Silverstone. I left the hospital immediately, when I got there, I saw crowd.
“Getting to the scene of the incident, I was told a 21 year old lady called Grace has been murdered.
“She was butchered on the head in four places, it appears to me the incident was not a rape but ritual murder.
“I say this because, the perpetrators of this dastardly act were using rape to disguise and distract people’s attention from their ritual activities.
“After the lady had died, her underwear was removed half way. I decided to go round at least some houses in the area, the area was not close to a bush and I challenged the residents why they couldn’t raise alarm when they noticed that a stranger had cone to their area. He came, perpetrated his heinous crime and left without being noticed.”
He also stated that he wept profusely over the incident and charged security agencies to fish out criminals.
“As I speak with you, I am sad, the lady was dead before my arrival, it’s painful. We urged the police to do necessary investigation to uncover the plot behind the recent killings in Akinyele local government.”
“I wept uncontrollably, a 21 year old girl was killed just like that,” he told GOALPOACHERNEWS.
The council boss then commiserated with the family of the 21-year-old student of Okeogun Polytechnic, Saki and vowed to ensure thatt the culprits are arrested and brought to book.
