Fleeing “ritualists” at the weekend threw the remains of a 23-year-old woman off a moving vehicle onto a refuse dump at the Olomo-Ore Junction in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, and sped off.
The victim, who was identified as Sitira at Lafenwa Divisional Police headquarters, Abeokuta, where her body was taken to after it was pulled out from the refuse dump, was said to be a trainee-stylist.
Females’ items such as pants, “leggings”, brassieres, camisole, make-up kits and a pack of cotton wool littered where the suspected ritualists hurriedly threw Sitira’s remains.
Esther Adewuyi, who identified herself as a relative of Sitira, told reporters that the late stylist lived with her mother in Iberekodo village in Abeokuta North Local Government Area.
Esther said she was last seen in their house on Saturday evening planning her graduation from apprenticeship.
Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi told The Nation that the girl was killed at the spot where she was dumped by the assailants, adding that besides the injury on her right hand, there was no suggestion she was killed for for rituals.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), added that no one knew those who carried out the killing.
The police, he said, have started investigation into the incident.
