Mother And 3 Children Matcheted To Death By Suspected Ritualists In Lagos by Nobody: 7:57am On Mar 02, 2017 |
Three children between ages four and
nine and their mother have been killed
on Masafejo Street, Agbowa, in the
Ikorodu area of Lagos by hoodlums
suspected to be ritual killers.
According to Punch, assailants invaded
the family’s residence around 2am on
Wednesday, and inflicted machete cuts
on the siblings and their mother.
The victims, whose name had yet to be
ascertained, lived in an uncompleted
Cherubim and Seraphim Church in the
community.
It was gathered that the attention of the
police at the Agbowa division was drawn
to the incident by members of the
church, who had gone for prayer around
5am after the murderers left the scene.
A police source disclosed to Punch that
the children were found dead in the
church, adding that their mother gave up
the ghost in a hospital.
He said,
“The station received a distressed
call around 5am that three
children were killed and operatives
went to the scene. The children
were aged between four and nine.
They were dead and in a pool of
blood, but their mother was still
breathing.
She was rushed to a hospital,
where she died. The cause of the
attack is still a mystery, but the
perpetrators will be fished out.”
The source, however, added that the
attack might not be unconnected with
incidences of ritual killings in Ibeshe and
Okegbegun communities in Ikorodu.
“The attack was similar to what
happened in Ibeshe community,
where some hoodlums gained
entrance into houses in the
midnight through the windows and
attacked their victims,” he added.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police,
Fatai Owoseni, on Wednesday confirmed
the incident, saying a manhunt had been
launched for the suspects.
Owoseni said it was pre-emptory to tag
the attack as ritual killings and promised
that the command would intensify
security presence in the community and
other remote areas in the state.
He said, “Today (Wednesday),
between 2am and 3am in Agbowa,
we had a case where some
hoodlums entered an uncompleted
building used as a church and
murdered three children. Their
mother was also wounded and
later died in a hospital.
My attention was drawn to the
incident around 5am and a police
response team went to the
building.
We will ensure that the
perpetrators are arrested. It is too
hasty to conclude it was ritual
killings.”
