Residents
of Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State have been left
in a state of panic after a woman was killed and used for ritual.
A 70-year-old woman identified as Sidikat Jimoh, has been
gruesomely murdered by some suspected ritualists, removing her vital
organs in Ogbagi Akoko in Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo
State.
It was gathered that the woman killed this morning and found in a
pool of her blood in her residence around Ayetoro area of the town in
the early morning.
According to an eyewitness, the assailants after removing the vital
parts from the woman also tried to set her remains ablaze but had to
leave in a hurry, leaving behind some of the vital organs removed from
their victim.
He described the late Septuagenarian as a peace-loving and
religious and wondered what could be responsible for the killing as no
property or money was removed from her home.
He said: “This woman was full of life yesterday and even
attended the weekly prayer meeting at the Ansar Ud Deen Society of
Nigeria Central mosque, before returning home.
“It is unfortunate that these hoodlums visited her home and killed her and removing her vital organs.”
He, however, said the incident was reported to the police station
while security operatives from the area removed her corpse to the State
Specialist Hospital in Ikare Akoko.
The Area Commander for Ikare Police Division, ACP Razak Rauf, who
confirmed the incident, said policemen from the town swung into action
and visited the scene of the incident.
He said there was no arrest but disclosed that investigation had
commenced into the killing, assuring that the killers would be brought
to book.
