… human parts, shrine, clothings found
Confusion, anger and anxiety enveloped the
Inu’osegba community within Akorede Estate, Mile II
axis of Abeokuta North Local Government Area of
Ogun State yesterday, as residents uncovered a
bungalow building suspected to be a ritualists’ den.
The building in which severed human wrist, pupil’s
school bags and uniforms were found, was
uncovered by a search party following the
mysterious disappearance of an 18 months old baby
identified as Hezekiah Opeyemi Ogundele, who got
missing during the preparation for a naming
ceremony in the area Sunday afternoon.
National Mirror gathered that following the
disappearance of the child, the celebrants had to put
the naming ceremony on hold indefinitely, while
apprehensive guests and residents began to comb
surrounding bushes and homes in search of the
baby.
Our correspondent also gathered that the suspected
ritualists’ den from where putrid stench of
decomposed human flesh was oozing out allegedly
belonged to one traditional worshipper and Ifa priest
identified as Chief Olasile Ifayemi who is however, on
the run.
The development however, forced the angry
residents to storm the area yesterday Monday and
vandalised the building where several other severed
human parts such as hands, a woman’s breast and
intestines as well as other fetish objects were
discovered at the detached rooms within the
bungalow which also has a shrine.
As at the time journalists visited the scene, various
clothes, women’s underwear like bras, pants and
other apparels suspected to belong to victims of the
ritualists and masquerade regalia were also found
inside the building.
Fetish objects, including a human effigy made of
wood, padlocks wrapped in black and white threads
and assorted charms as well as other ritual items
were also discovered in one of the rooms. Angry
youths threatened to set the building ablaze as at the
time our correspondent visited the scene.
It was further gathered that a commercial motorcycle
operator who visited the building in the wee hour of
yesterday Monday had been arrested and handed
over to the police at the Lafenwa Divisional Police
Headquarters, Abeokuta.
Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS,
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC,
were sighted making frantic effort to control the
enraged crowd who were bent on bringing down the
building by setting it ablaze.
Narrating her ordeal, the 26 years old mother of the
toddler stated that she had gone to celebrate the
birth of a new-born baby with her brother, Olusola
Osunleke, who resides in the area when the incident
occurred.
“I then ran outside the house into the streets, still
searching and that was when I encountered two
persons at Chief Ifayemi’s house.
I asked if they had seen my son, they denied and
started giggling. So, I left them and continued to
search for him,” she said. Ogundele stated that it
was in the process of the search for her missing son
that the alleged ritualists’ den was later discovered.
The mother of the toddler alleged that she “strongly”
suspected the two occupants she met earlier inside
the suspected ritualists’ den while searching for her
son shortly after he disappeared and from whom she
had inquired the boy’s whereabouts, for the alleged
crime.
Shedding tears, she pleaded with the police and
Nigerians to help her find her child who would clock
one year and eight months tomorrow to save her
from her current agony.
But while confirming the incident, the state
Commissioner of Police, Abdul-Majid Ali, said there
was no link between the disappearance of the toddler
and the discovery of the alleged ritualists’ den.
Ali, however, assured that the police have
commenced investigations on the matter and would
make its findings public
