Ritualists Kill Couple & Children In Ikorodu, Lagos by Islie: 6:36am On May 08, 2017

A gang of assailants, suspected to be ritual killers, has wreaked havoc on a family of six in Adeke bus stop, Adamo , Imota , in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

The couple – Taofiq Agbaje and Simiat Agbaje, 32, – and two of their four children , Rodiat, 10, and eight-year - old Toyeebat, were hacked to death by the gang.

The two other siblings , Mardiya, 13 and her one -year -old sister reportedly sustained injuries.

This happened barely three weeks after another couple and their only child were murdered in Ibese Titun, a neighbouring community,
The attacks were allegedly perpetrated by members of a notorious gang called Badoo.

In what seemed to be their usual modus operandi , PUNCH Metro gathered that the attackers gained entrance into the Agbajes’ three - bedroomed flat in the night after tearing the window net and removing some burglar - proof bars.

They were said to have smashed some objects on their victims and wiped away their blood with handkerchiefs, leaving them for dead.

Our correspondent gathered that a neighbour, who had gone to get lemon juice from the family around 6am on Tuesday, saw the victims and called for help.

It was gathered that Taofiq and two children died on the spot, while his wife , Rodiat , and the toddler were rushed to a hospital for treatment.

The case was reported at the Imota Police Division.
Simiat ’ s uncle , Adisa Ismaila , said he was at work on Tuesday when he received the tragic news.

“ On getting to the house, I met the corpses of her husband and two children on the ground . There was a big stone beside them . The gang wiped their blood with a piece of cloth. The mother and the two other children were taken to the hospital, while we buried the deceased according to Islamic rites.

“ The following day, the mother also gave up the ghost. We buried her beside them . Mardiya and her sister have recovered and have been taken to our hometown in Iwo ( Osun State ) for proper care. When policemen from the division asked Mardiya what transpired , she could not explain, ” he said.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that a generator was working at the time of the attack , adding that its noise deafened the neighbours.

He said , “ Around 6am, one of the neighbours, a woman , needed lemon for her child , who was having a stomach ache . She went to get it from Iya Mardiya (Simiat). She saw Mardiya crawling on the passage. She could no longer talk. She pointed at their room and the woman rushed in only to discover other family members lying helplessly.

“ They used to live in the Agric area. They moved into this area four years ago when they completed their house. We call on the security agencies to please do something. ”

A community leader , who did not want his name in print for security reasons, lamented that “ there is little or no improvement , ” despite several petitions to Governor Akinwumi Ambode and some other commissioners in the state.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous -Cole, said identities of the assailants had yet to be known.

He said , “ The command responded to a distress call from a resident and discovered that one Taofeek Agbaje and his family were attacked at night by unknown persons . As a result, Mr . Agbaje and his two daughters , between seven and nine years , died , while his wife and two other daughters, aged two and 12 years, sustained injuries respectively and were taken to a hospital. Investigations are in progress.

those in govt houses never lack power, security or quality health care and their children are educated in the best schools and get automatic employment when they want but...the common man gets next to nothing and we still kill ourselves for them while nothing much changes, well...state policing and restructuring is the way forward, then if things like this happens we can easily hold our local govt chairmen and councilllors responsible instead of looking far at abuja, or "london".enough of these nonsense already

Ikorodu needs to be converted to a grazing field for Fulani herdsmen!

That area alone is worst than the whole of Rivers state!


No sought of crime that does not exist in that area. Name it! And all re at maximum peak.



Ambode should just donate the area to herdsmen

Coupled with killing Children and their parents in such a gruesome manner.

I imagine the kind of joy their (badoo gang) own parents had when they (badoo gang) were born into this world, Alas, their parents never knew they had given the world that which will bring sorrow, tears and blood embarassed embarassed embarassed

Govt don't care! If badoo likes let him empty Lagos, Nigerian govt have successfully led the country from "the abroad" in the past. So they will all move abroad and run the country from there.

This is bad.
All the touts, robbers in bariga, shomolu have all relocated to Ikorodu.

And most people find Ikorodu as a place to buy land and settle down after all they might have faced with their landlords.

Reality check. areas with the poorest people around the world always get the worst policing. What I read is even worse they own the property.

Question: Does it make sense to go and live in an area where there's serious under development, just because you want to live in your house?

Mainland areas like Iyana Ipaja. Ayobo. Egbeda, ikeja. up to island. Even lekki do not have these issues.
