First came the story of JSS3 students selling their friend. Just two days ago, we reported again that a seven year old boy was beheaded somewhere in Nassarawa State. Now news reaching us is that a killing suspected to be for rituals happened in Festac town, Lagos yesterday 26th July 2012.
FESTAC Town in Lagos was in an uproar yesterday evening as a decomposing body of a man was discovered inside a duplex on B Close, House 6 of 3rd Avenue. The body, NHG gathered, was that of the younger sibling of two brothers allegedly living together in the duplex left for them by their late parents.
The dead body identified as Akinbuyi Ajayi, a 39 year old man lived in the same apartment with his brothers Toye Ajayi and Omotola Ajayi. We are told that he was allegedly murdered by his brothers who kept his body in a room inside the flat where it was continously mutilated till it was discovered. A police source alleged that Toye and Omotola were selling the body parts of their brother for money, adding that the two were caught with some human parts which eventually led to a search on their apartment by law enforcement agents.
The two brothers Toye and Omotola are suspected to have first killed Akinbuyi, then chopped off his head, hands, legs and private part and allegedly sold them to ritualists. The decomposing body of Akinbuyi was moved by the policemen from the FESTAC Police Station led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Mohammed Mu’azu, a Chief Superintendent of Police and officials of Amuwo Odofin Local Government council, to a morgue, while the police took other items recovered from the house into custody.
Residents of FESTAC came out in their large numbers to watch the horrifying spectacle as the council officials and policemen removed the body. Apart from the body that was recovered from the house, charms, amulets, a pot filled with human blood and two large dummies of human beings were discovered. Some of the charms and amulets were concealed inside a carton with the inscription: Lord Krishna Agabarthi 999.
Omotola, who claimed to be an engineer denied knowing anything about the corpse. He claimed to be jobless, adding that he depended on goodwill of people to survive along with Toye. He denied knowledge of the death of his brother. He explained that Akinbuyi was arrested recently by sanitation task force, adding that the deceased spent three days in prison.
Omotola also said Akinbuyi was born in 1973 and that he usually went out and came in at will. He told the police that his brother’s killers must have committed the act before dumping the deceased inside one of the rooms. He further said their father died in a motor accident recently. Their father, he claimed, was the owner of the duplex where they live. Akinbuyi’s corpse was dumped in one of the rooms upstairs.
Toye described himself as a primary school teacher. When the police asked him where he teaches, he could not utter a word.
The rate of ritual killings in Nigeria now is very alarming,and constantly on the rise, but brothers killing another brother is whole different level! This are indeed hard times! God save us all!
