The two suspected ritual killers, Omotola Ajayi and Toyin Ajayi, arrested by police on Thursday, July 26, 2012 at their Third Avenue, B Close House 6, Festac Town, Lagos, are graduates.

According to information made available to our correspondent on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos Command, Mrs. Ngozi Braide, the duo graduated from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and Lagos State University, respectively.

Omotola, 47, had told men of the Festac Town police station that he read Agricultural Science in FUNAAB, but the university disowned him; while Toyin, 30, read Mathematics/Statistics in LASU.

Contrary to media reports, apart from the decapitated body of a male victim found in their abode, bowls containing blood and sacks containing human parts were parts of exhibits retrieved by the police. Besides, Braide said, one dry and one fresh human skulls were also found in the building after the police conducted a thorough search on the said property, located in the neighbourhood of Nigerian Immigration Service (Passport) office.

When our correspondent visited Third Avenue, B Close on Wednesday, House 6 was deserted, as police had put it under lock and key. It was a twin-duplex, and weeds could be seen in the compound. The green colour on the building has almost lost its shine.

Braide said, “Both of them are graduates. The elder, Omotola, graduated from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, with B.Sc Agric Science, while Toyin graduated from LASU. He had a B.Sc in Mathematics/Statistics.

“It was the flies which invaded the windows and the stench coming from the building that made their neighbours alert the necessary authorities. First, they went to the Health Department, Amuwo Odofin Local Government to reported the case. It was the council officials who directed them to the police.”

Braide said the suspects had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, where further investigations would continue.

She however, explained further, “It was when the policemen from Festac Town police station went to the scene that they arrested the elder brother while coming out of the compound, with a polythene bag.

“The polythene bag was searched and some human parts were found inside it. He was promptly arrested and the policemen carried out a thorough search on the building. They discovered a floating corpse in the bath closet whose head had been severed. The hands had also been cut off, while the feet were severed from the knees. Two severed human heads were also found there. One was dry and the other fresh.

“Besides, the policemen saw some sacks in a room which contained human parts. The interrogations will continue.”

Braide could not confirm if the suspects’ younger brother was one of the victims whose parts were retrieved from the house. Omotola is said to be a divorcee and a father of two, while Toyin had yet to get married. Landlords and residents of B Close, the neighbours of the suspects, were not ready to entertain any media interviews. But some of them who did craved anonymity.

A search for the chairman of ‘B Close’ Residents’ Association met a brick wall. Even a house said to be the chairman’s turned out to be where our correspondent got the rudest shock. A female occupant who peeped through the gate directed him to ‘A Close.’

However, a female resident who did not want her name in print said the two suspects were known in the neighbourhood and nobody suspected they were into such dastardly act.

She said, “The elder brother was always complaining that he was being owed for contracts he had executed for a state government. Both of them are well known in the neighbourhood.”

Another source said their mother used to live with them in that building until a period when she was no longer seen there.

The Chairman, Amuwo Odofin Local Government, Mr. Ayodele Adewale, told our correspondent that he was taken aback by the startling discovery. He said he was in the office when the security officer of the council called him and intimated him of the development.

He said, “Immediately, I went to the scene and I saw blood collected in bowls and a corpse and human parts. The policemen even said I would not be able to stand the horror of such a scene.

“From what I gathered from people at the scene, some said they were ritualists, some said they might have mental problems, while some said they could be cannibals. Some told me they beg neighbours for money to buy soft drinks. I think we don’t have to jump to hasty conclusion. The police would determine their real motive through interrogation.”

Adewale stated that he had always held multi-security council meetings in the local government, with members of the Police Force, Army, Navy, State Security Service, residents’ associations and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, among others, in attendance.

He added that he had held a stakeholders’ meeting with the people in Festac Town, where he told them of the need for residents to know their neighbours and to protect and secure their areas.

He stressed, “I have told them of the need for every Close to hold their meetings, maybe on the environmental sanitation days. They need to know their neighbours; through that, they could report neighbours whose behaviours are suspicious to the necessary authorities.”

The Chairman, Festac Town Landlords Association, Mr. Jola Ogunnusi, also echoed what Adewale said. He explained that he knew nothing about the two suspects other than what he had read in the newspapers on the incident.

He put it succinctly, “We have about five layers of meetings and they are block of flats meeting, meeting of close, zonal meeting, community meeting and central meeting. It is at the zonal level that representatives are sent to the central meeting.

“So, there was no way I could have known them. It is the chairman of the Close that could say something about them. Festac (Town) is divided into seven communities, only five are functioning now.”

However, it is only police investigations that could unravel the mystery behind the killing of their brother and those whose body parts were found.

When contacted on the telephone on Friday concerning the claim by Toyin that he graduated from LASU, director, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations of the institution, Dr. Sola Fosudo explained that students who had graduated are on their own.

He said, “He said he graduated from LASU? How has what has happened concerned the institution? Anyone who had graduated from the institution is responsible for his or her actions.”

On his own part, FUNAAB director of Public Relations, Mr. Lasun Somoye said after a search was done on Omotola’s name both manually and electronically, his name did not appear in the record of students.

He said on the telephone,” We did a search on the name both manually and electronically, but we did not locate the name in our record.”

The Tata community near Ijoun in Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun State, South-west Nigeria, was on Monday thrown into mourning when people suspected to be ritualists beheaded a nine-year old girl, Taiwo Ajibode.

•Jimoh, the suspected kidnapper.
P.M.NEWS gathered that Mr. Sola Ajibode, his wife, Mrs. Abosede Ajibode and their three children, Taiwo, Kehinde and Bukola Ajibode were on a visit to their aged grandmother, Madam Ashande Ase when the incident happened.
Investigations revealed that Mr. Ajibode’s mother-in-law, Madam Ashande, 86, went to the night market at about 8 p.m on Monday night to buy food that her grand children wanted to eat.
Family sources further disclosed that while the grandma was away, their father, Sola Ajibode was sleeping inside the old woman’s room with the other two children. But the late Taiwo was sleeping beside her mother on a mat at the backyard and when Madam Ashande returned with the food, Taiwo was no longer by her mother’s side. She had been taken away by unidentified persons.
A search party was organised. Assisted by the town’s vigilance group, the search team combed the nooks and crannies of Tata village to no avail.
The late Taiwo’s mother, Mrs. Ajibode, disclosed that, on Tuesday morning, she decided to revisit areas they had searched on Monday night. Then the shocking revelation.
“Inside a cassava farm, about 50 metres to my mother’s residence, I saw the headless body of Taiwo. And sympathisers besieged the location immediately. They expressed surprise that the headless body could be found in that farm where people had searched endlessly,” Mrs. Ajibode narrated.
A community leader, Chief Moses, the Akogun of Tata reported the matter at the Igan Alade Police Station and the policemen visited the scene and took away the corpse.
The parents of the girl, community leaders and members of Tata vigilance group went to the police station to assist in the investigation. But Mr. and Mrs. Ajibode pleaded that the corpse of their child should be released to them for burial, saying they were not interested in any case.
After signing an undertaking, the police at Igan Alade Station released the corpse of Taiwo to her parents.
But the majority of the Tata residents thought otherwise. They preferred a thorough investigation into the incident, claiming it was a strange and unusual incident in the village.
A community leader, Chief Adisa Fasina said he could not recollect such an incident happening in the community in recent years.
Meanwhile, an SS1 student simply identified as Sunday has been rescued from kidnappers in Lagos.

Sunday
One of the suspects arrested in connection with the incident gave his name as Bashiru Jimoh. He boarded the same bus with his other accomplice along with the student from Berger to Ikeja bus stop and they all sat at the back seat.
An elderly man in his 60s, Alhaji Yinusa Aremu said he saw Jimoh sprinkle a white powder on the student and he became unconscious.
Luck ran out on the suspects at Ipodo area of Ikeja when the elderly man who was monitoring them shouted “thief! thief!! thief!!!” and one of the suspects was arrested and the other escaped.
According to Alhaji Aremu, “I was coming from Akure and at Berger Bus stop, I entered a bus going to Ikeja. I sat in the middle seat while this student was at the centre of these men at the back seat. I thought they were together when suddenly I just looked back and I saw this suspect spray white powder on the boy. I wanted to shout but I was afraid, thinking that all other passengers were members of the gang.
“When we all dropped off the bus at Ipodo, the school boy was too weak to move, so these men held his hands and I summoned the courage to shout ‘thief! thief!!’ and this one was arrested while the other escaped.”
After the suspect was arrested, he was beaten silly by the people and he said: “the student is my friend, I am taking him to his mother in Festac,” but when he was about to be set ablaze he confessed: “he is not my friend, we met in the bus and I sprayed white powder on him because we sat close to him believing that we would be able to get better ransom money if we succeeded in kidnapping him. We have been doing it for over three years. My partner who ran away was with the powder.”
The sum of N300,000 and two phones were found on him, which he claimed belonged to the student. He also claimed that he gave N50,000 to the other suspect who escaped.
The student, who regained consciousness after about four hours, managed to mention that his name is Sunday and that he is an SS 1 student.
The suspect was later taken away to Area F Police Division, Ikeja, where the incident is being investigated.

tpia@:
Na today?

I think some of them said being a mod doesnt mean they cant comment on a topic, or some other such jive.

I'm still waiting to see where sexkills is taking romance section and where michelin is going with her prepared script.

pek: Let us marry logic with common sense here: the first lady was in lagos when they aircraft crashed on sunday?! She left on monday without visiting the site?! Her husband visits the site but she wasnt there with him. Her actions are not in tandem with Dame patience i know. Have we considered the possibility that the airspace was shut for her departure but when the crashed happen she had to postpone her journey for obivous reasons. Is this not plausible?

If you guys r honest EXPOSE them n all those sponsoring them. C.A.N is behind this just coz of islamic banking and pure hatred for islam like u.watch the cds of pastors who r sent to egypt to learn arabic and all muslim ways for upto 5yrs jst to come and infiltrate the poor muslims and turn d quran upside down for them. Y why why? U so much fear não hate islam that u take up any means to abuse it.do u kw hw many muslims boko haram has killed,ur media too is too biased but kudos to sahara reporters since he is not a typical nigger like u.some of u burn down ur churches jst coz tithes were nt shared properly or nt a member of a juicy committee n blame it on boko haram.see d woman with guns in her garri??!! This i s the prayer of all northerners who are muslims''ya Allah,you are the most merciful and swift in reckoning,we pray to You to expose and vanquish whatever and whoever is boko haram or linked to them.this burden is too much for us to bear,deal with them as you did to likes of judas and pharaoh". Amin.

Omexonomy: prof. May you live long to see the end of BH

aare07: The only solution to Boko Haram insurgency, is for the president to drop his second term agenda. He should the hausa to rule.

guonno: I heard prof ayodele is one of the best. The one-nijeria experiment is really working O! No country with 50% muslim 40% christians will ever work. America is free from terror not bc they hav the best tactics, but bc muslims r only 10% of their popultion. South sudan is 50% muslim and 40% christian, they fought till they went their seperate ways. One-Nijeria will never know peace.

Desola: This man just made me even prouder to be an ooduite!

God bless you, Ogbeni Aregbesola!

bittyend: MASSOB guys are the new Boko Haram in town..

When the Nigerian Army descend upon you guys in your small Igbo enclave - please don't scream genocide again.

MEND had the creeks as their hideout... Boko Haram has the large desert in the North as their hideout... I wonder where MASSOB will hide when the Nigerian Army get serious with them, with the huge population in Biafra land.

I feel sorry in advance for the innocent Igbos out there.
