According to Daily Sun newspaper, three friends have killed their childhood friend for ritual purpose in Erusu-Akoko, Ondo State, last week. The friends are Chief Babatunde Olumofe, who works for a bottling company based in Lagos; Mr. Sunday Akeju; and another PERSON simply identified as Eso. They were all said to be childhood friends with Mr. Olufemi Ogunkorode and own their personal houses on the same street in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos. They reportedly tricked the late Mr. Ogunkorode, an indigene of Ilu Omoba-Ekiti, Ekiti State, to their home town last week Saturday on the pretext that Olumofe was going to
bury his mother.
The suspects were said to have bought a new cloth for the deceased and presented it to him as their ‘uniform’ for the occasion. Daily Sun reports also revealed that the suspects handed over the victim to the traditionalists a few minutes after their arrival at Erusu-Akoko.
The traditionalists allegedly killed Ogunkorode for ritual to appease the gods of the town. The suspects were said to have allegedly dumped the body of their victim along a major highway and claimed he was killed during a robbery incident.
The victim’s friends also reported the case to the police at Erusu-Akoko post.
The suspects were said to have given different reports when the case was transferred to the Oke Agbe Police Station, that was how their trouble started.
They told the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) that Ogunkorode slumped and died.
