Osun polytechnic student found dead in his apartment (photo)

A student of Osun State Polytechnic, Festus Adedoyin Ewejobi, who was declared missing on Tuesday, September 15, was found dead with his body mutilated in his apartment in Iree, a community in the state on Saturday, September 19.

 

According to The Nation, a search party was launched shortly after Festus's whereabouts couldn't be determined on Tuesday September 15. It was while the search for Festus was in progress that neighbors perceived a stench from his room, fuelling suspicion that he might have been harmed. The door leading to his apartment was forced open only to find his decomposed body riddled with machete cuts.

“We initially thought that the deceased was out of town when he was not seen or sighted in the neighbourhood for about four days.

But we became worried because he would always leave a clue as to his whereabouts whenever he was going out. Hence, we raised the alarm when his whereabouts were unknown.

Our worries about his safety heightened when we perceived a stench coming from his room. We forced our way into his room only to find his mutilated body.

We reported the matter to the police divisional headquarters in the community and men of the station invited local government officials to evacuate the body. Family members of the deceased have also been contacted.

From the look of things, his assailants probably trailed him to his room and killed him with a machete.’’ a resident said

 

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, Yemisi Opalola, said one Opeyemi Adeshina, a student of Osun State Polytechnic, reported to the police station in the community that they perceived an offensive odour from the apartment of Festus Adedoyin Ewejobi.

 

She said the police swung into action and forced their way into Festus's room where they found his decomposing body.

“The police broke the padlock of the mini flat where Ewejobi’s room was situated and found the decomposing corpse of Ewejobi. We contacted the local government for evacuation.'' she said

 

She added that his body was released to his family and that he has since been buried.

“No foul play was suspected because the entire body was examined. The family of the deceased was contacted and he was buried the day after the corpse was discovered,” she said

A 35-year-old pregnant woman, Risikat Saliman, was shot dead during a bloody clash between suspected cult groups at Aleke community in Ikorodu, Lagos State on Thursday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that dozens of suspected cultists invaded Aleke community market around 8p.m. and started shooting sporadically, killing the woman.

“We want Lagos government to intervene so that we can collectively curb the menace to enable my people sleep with their two eyes closed,” the Baale said. 

He appealed to the Lagos State Government to intervene as a matter of urgency for the safety of lives and property in the community.

Okemati also urged residents to collaborate with local vigilante teams to curb insecurity in the area. 

The brother of the deceased, Mr Babatunde Saliman, told NAN that the hoodlums arrived at the market around 8: p.m. and started shooting sporadically and eventually the bullet hit her on the back. 

“I met her at the market lying in a pool of blood; some of her friends who came to the scene said that she was pregnant. 

“Her body has been released by the police and was taken to Ikorodu General Hospital mortuary in preparation to transport her to her home town in Kwara State,” he said.

17-year-old girl who travelled 210kms to see a man she met on Facebook, raped by 3 men

An aggrieved Kenyan mother has called for the arrest of three men who raped her 17-year-old daughter on seperate occasions in early June. 

 

Recalling how the incident occurred, the girl said she knows only one of the men from Facebook and gave his name as "Vincent". She said he invited her to his home in Mbale, a distance of 210 kilometers from Mbita where she stays with her Aunt. 

 

She said; 

 

“I met the man on Facebook. His first name is Vincent, and the surname indicates he is of Luhya ethnicity. He invited me to Mbale, Vihiga County so that I know where he stays — Hekima area. I usually stay with my aunt. I told her that I was going to pay mum a visit and return on Sunday, June 14. 

“He told me to use my money to travel to his place, and that he will refund once I get there.  Vincent defiled and kicked me out of his house without giving me any money to travel back home.

“While stranded, I met a boda boda rider, who promised to provide me with somewhere to shelter for the night. He further said that the following day, he will take me to Kisumu, where I will board a bus home. He took me to a lodging facility in Kakamega, where he defiled and stole my phone.

“On returning to Mbale, I met yet another man, who took me to Vincent’s place. We found the door had been locked. The then-curfew cut-off hour of 7pm had clocked. So, the man told me he would take me to his place, where I would spend the night. While at his home, he defiled me and kicked me out the following morning. 

“I want this case to be pursued to the end. The men hurt me."

 

The rape victim who said a  female Good Samaritan helped her seek medical treatment and file a report at Mbale Police Station on June 10, identified her last defiler as one Davies, who “stays near Mbale High School”.

 

The mother of the 17-year-old on her own part said; 

 

“My 17-year-old daughter stays with her aunt, who lives in Mbita. She (daughter) told me that she would come home on Friday, June 5. When I called her later Friday to inquire, why she had taken long to arrive home, she said I shouldn’t worry, and that she’d be home soon. In the evening, her phone line was unreachable. I did not know where she had gone to, or what had happened to her. 

“On Tuesday, June 9, I received a call from a police officer attached to Mbale Police Station. The cop asked me to go to the station because my daughter was seriously ill. I was shocked; I did not know how she got to Mbale in Vihiga County, a place that I, personally, had never set foot in. I was told that she met one of her defilers on Facebook.”

 

K2TV reported that one of the suspects, David Nyangweso has been arrested and arraigned. He is being held in custody as investigations into the matter continue.

5-year-old girl dies after her cousin raped her and her 8-year-old sister

A woman and her son have been arrested after the son raped his two young cousins living with them, leading to the death of one of the girls.

 

5-year-old Kadijah M. Saccoh and her sister were living with their aunt and her son in her home in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

 

 

Kadijah's parents were living apart. The father, Congolese Saccoh, is living in the U.S. and had been trying to take Kadijah, a U.S. citizen, with him to the U.S. but couldn't because a Judge prevented him from doing so as the mother was not in support.

 

Kadijah and her sister remained with their aunt, who is the elder sister of Kadijah's mum.

 

 

Unfortunately, the aunt's son began raping Kadijah's elder sister, aged 8, and Kadijah, aged 5.

 

Reports claim that when the aunt found out her son had raped Kadijah's sister, she hid it from the children's parents and treated the girl herself.

 

Her son then raped Kadijah and she hid that too and tried treating the girl. Unfortunately, Kadijah died and the aunt tried to bury her hurriedly.

 

 

According to reports, the aunt informed Kadijah's father's family about the death of the girl after which she asked for permission to bury the child, but the father insisted that he wanted to know the cause of the death.

 

The father urged his family to take the corpse for a postmortem. The postmortem result showed that the girl was raped multiple times. The father then asked that his older daughter be taken for a test too and it showed that she had been raped too.

 

The aunt and her son have both been arrested and people are seeking justice for Kadijah with the hashtags  #JusticeForKadijahSaccoh and #JusticeForKadijah.

 

 

On Monday, June 22, celebrities in the country took to the streets to demand justice for the victim and her sister. Women also took to the streets, clad in black, to demand justice. 

 

 

Demanding justice, Women in the Media Sierra Leone wrote in a press release: "As a female media organization we are deeply saddened and we therefore condemn this act.
We are calling on all authorities concerned to speedily launch an investigation into the matter and ensure the perpetrator(s) is brought to justice.
