A 43-year-old security guard has been beheaded by a yet-to-be identified
persons suspected to be ritualists in Oka-Akoko community, the
headquarters of Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
IgbereTV
learnt that the victim identified as Rotimi Olukoju, who worked with a
microfinance bank in the town, was found dead on Thursday evening,
October 29, by some residents in a bush path.
Residents said that
Olokoju was killed on his way to the farm in the Iwaro area of Oka
Akoko while vital organs of his body were also removed and taken away.
A
family member of the late Olukoju, who confirmed the incident on
Friday, said his corpse had been taken to the mortuary by the police.
He disclosed that the deceased started working at the microfinance bank a few years ago to complement his farming.
"Now,
they have taken his life despite all the suffering. We are pained by
his death and most especially the cutting of his head. My brother died a
painful death but we have resulted in spiritual means to unravel the
real people behind this and I pray God will expose those who did this to
us," he said.
Confirming the incident, spokesperson of the Ondo
State Police Command, Tee-Leo Ikoro, said they have begun investigation
into the crime, adding that the police would soon be meeting with
traditional chiefs and stakeholders in the community to tackle the
activities of the ritualists.
