The Ogun State Police Command has
debunked rumour that headless bodies of
three suspected female students were
dumped in an area in Ijebu Ode on Monday.

A message circulated via BlackBerry about
the incident caused confusion in the town.

It reads, “Three headless bodies suspected to
be that of females were thrown off a Range
Rover Sport Jeep at Ijebu Ode-Ibadan Road
just now.
“One is fair in complexion with University of
Lagos identity card (Yetunde Ajao) inside her
bag. The second is an Olabisi Onabanjo
University student, Oyindamola Esan, also fair
in complexion and tall.
“The last one is short, plump and dark with
no identity. Please kindly notify their families
and friends if you know them before the
bodies are run over by vehicles.”

But the spokesperson for the state police
command, Muyiwa Adejobi, told our
correspondent that the rumours were
mischievous and simply untrue.

“When I heard about it, I alerted our men
who went there but saw nothing and got no
report of such thing in the area,”

Adejobi said.
It was also learnt that many residents of the
town, who read the broadcast, abandoned
their activities and went to Ijebu Ode-Ibadan
Road in search of the corpses.
One of them, Tolu Olaleye, said, “We have
been here for the past three hours searching
all the bushes, but we are yet to see anything.
People have turned this road to tourist
centre.”

A visit to UNILAG by PUNCH Metro showed
that there was no student in its database with
the name of Yetunde Ajao.

A source said school officials had cross
referenced the institution’s data with the
name without success.

The source said, “We also received the
message about the headless bodies of three
girls, one of which was believed to be a
student of UNILAG. We checked all our digital
records but the name Yetunde Ajao did not
come up.”
