Ritualists may have
taken over Ogere,
Ogun State, on Lagos-
Sagamu expressway
as a female victim on
her way to Lagos from
Port Harcourt was
kidnapped and taken
away at gun point for
slaughter.
Her fresh corpse was
later found close to
the point where she
was kidnapped two
weeks later, with vital
organs of her body,
including tongue,
breasts and clitoris
missing and Vanguard
gathered that this is
the second of such
incident occurring in
the area in three
weeks
The victim, Miss Tonia
Ibelefa, 25, was
travelling in company
of two male relations
in a private car when
the incident occurred.
Eyewitness told
Vanguard that the
armed ritualists blocked
the expressway,
dragged the University
of Port Harcourt
graduate out of the
car and took her into
the bush, adding that
the two male family
members with the girl
surrendered her at
gun point.
“She is the one we
want and you must
surrender her,” the
ritualists told the two
men, according to the
witness.
The witness said the
matter was immediately
reported to the police
in the area who
launched a manhunt
for the criminals to no
avail.
Messages were also
said to have been sent
to the girl’s family in
Port Harcourt who
also reported the case
to the police who
immediately declared a
case of missing person.
Thinking that it was a
case of kidnap, the
family waited to hear
from the abductors
but got no information
about her whereabout.
However, the ritualists
last Thursday called
the parents through
the number obtained
from their victim’s
phone, advising them
to pick up the corpse
of their daughter at a
junction very close to
where the incident
happened.
Elder sister of the
deceased confirmed
that that family had
since recovered the
corpse, which still
looked very fresh at
the time of recovery,
giving an indication that
she was not killed
immediately she was
kidnapped.
