The lifeless body of a 23 year old lady was found at a dump site in Abeokuta after the body was thrown out of a moving vehicle.
Reports say that th dead body of Sitira, 23, an apprentice
hairdresser, was thrown out of a moving van into a refuse dump site at
the Olomoore junction, Abeokuta, with some body parts decapitated.
Sitira had recently completed her apprenticeship and was preparing for her freedom.
All evidences indicate that she fell victim to ritualists.
Littering the dump site on Sunday 2nd August were ladies pants,
brassieres, camisoles, lip sticks, powder kits, and nail-paint, which
suggested Sitira might not have been the only victim.
Some metres away from the spot, where these items were seen, lay
the half-clothed Sitira’s corpse, with her camisole and ‘leggings’
intact.
But upon close observation of her corpse revealed that substantial
flesh from her right arm was cut off, with body fluid oozing out.
A middle-aged woman, Esther Adewuyi, who identified herself as a relative of Sitira, spoke with the journalists amidst sobbing.
She said the deceased, who lost her only child two years ago, had
been living with her mother in the Iberekodo area of Abeokuta North
Local Government.
Adewuyi said, “Sitira was an hair stylist apprentice and she
was last seen in their house around 10pm on Saturday night where she and
her mother discussed plans for her freedom.
“Nobody, including her younger siblings, knew when she went out.”
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed that Sitira must have been killed and dumped at the
site.
He said, “We found the corpse in the area but we have taken the corpse to the mortuary.”
