“After the girl had died, they packed her corpse into a sack and dumped the sack opposite Ogbere Police Station in Ibadan.The following day, a woman whose shop is close to the police station, noticed the sack and called the attention of the police. The DPO ordered the opening of the sack and the corpse was discovered. he said
It has been taken to a morgue.“We have carried out an autopsy on the girl and we are awaiting the result. We have gathered that the suspects had contacted the parents of the girl and had demanded N2 million ransom before they could release the girl.“They agreed on N300,000, following the intervention of the police.
One Lasisi Olalekan reported the case of the missing girl to the police and the officers had commenced investigation on the matter, leading to the arrest of the lead suspect, Babatunde Aderounmu.The suspect had sent the account number of a prophetess, who they claimed had prayed for them before, to the parents.The suspects have confessed that they employed the service of an Alfa who administered a substance on the girl, which led to her death and later dumped her remains very close to the Divisional Police Station at Ogbere Tioya in Ibadan.”He concluded
