The Caretaker Chairman, Akinyele South LCDA, Hon Kazeem Adekunle has revealed how a 21 year old Grace was murdered on Saturday by yet to be identified person.
Hon Kazeem who gave the account of the incident while speaking with GOALPOACHER NEWS on Saturday night narrates what happened when he arrived at the scene.
“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 a 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 under wear was removed half way. I decided to go round at 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 community. He came, perpetrated his heinous crime and left without being noticed.”
Hon Kazeem said he felt so sad, that such incident could happen in a densely populated area, he urged residents to cooperate with the government and security agents by reporting any suspicious movement to the relevant authority.
“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.”
The Council boss had since commiserated with the deceased family and vowed to ensure that the culprit is arrested and made to face the consequences of his action.
Recall GOALPOACHER NEWS had reported earlier that Grace was reportedly raped to death at her parents’ residence.
Until her untimely death, she was a National Diploma student at Saki Polytechnic.
Her death makes it the third of it kind in the last two weeks. Recall Barakat Bello and Azeezat were killed after suffering similar fate.
