BARELY a week after a 20-month-old baby was abducted
during a naming ceremony in Abeokuta, Ogun State, suspected
ritualists have abandoned the corpse of a 23-year-old alleged commercial
sex worker at Olomoore Junction in the outskirts of the state capital.The body of the victim, identified as Sitira, was found yesterday
morning at a dumpsite in the area with a large chunk of the flesh on her
right hand cut.
Checks revealed that a relation identified the corpse of the victim,
suspected to be one of the commercial sex workers operating within the
Abeokuta metropolis, after a police rescue team from the Lafenwa
Divisional Police headquarters evacuated the body from the dumpsite.
Expdonaloaded blog gathered that the deceased, who was in company with
another lady, whose whereabouts was unknown as at press time, was
alleged to have been thrown out of a moving sport utility vehicle (SUV)
at the Olomoore refuse dump.
When the Expdonaloaded blog visited the dumpsite, the scene of the incident
was littered with items suspected to belong to the victim and her
missing friend.
The items found at the scene, included pants, brassieres, ladies’
armless camisole, lipsticks, powder kits, nail-paint and a pack of
cotton wool.
It was gathered that Sitira’s corpse was on the ground about 500 metres from the ladies’ items strewn about the scene.
Upon close observation, it was discovered that a substantial amount of the flesh from her right hand had been cut off.
Speaking with journalists amid sobs, a middle-aged woman, Esther
Adewuyi, who claimed to be Sitira’s relation, explained that the
23-year-old lady had been living with her mother in the Iberekodo area
of Abeokuta North Local Government Area after the death of her only
child about two years ago.
Adewuyi added that Sitira, who was an apprentice hairdresser, was
last seen in the house at about 10 pm on Saturday night, where they both
had discussions about the victim’s plans for her graduation.
She insisted that nobody, including her younger siblings, knew when she went out on Saturday night.
Efforts to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, failed because he did not pick calls made to his phone.
