were murdered in their apartment by unknown
men.Vanguard gathered that the family members had their heads bashed in with a
grinding stone. Their son was writing the ongoing Senior
Secondary Certificate Examination, SSCE. Residents, however, claimed that the act could
have been carried out by members of a dreaded
cultist known asBadooo , owing to the manner the family members were killed. Nobody could tell the exact time the assailants
struck, as residents had apparently gone to bed.
But they were all thrown into confusion at noon
yesterday, after a teacher and some classmates of
the SS3 student called to find out why he did not
come to write the day’s paper. The door was locked from within, while the
window was left opened. Several knocks on the
door as well as calls put through to their phones
were greeted with silence. One of the curious students was said to have
peeped through the window, only to discover the
family of three in a pool of blood. The visitors raised the alarm that alerted residents,
who forced the door open and discovered all
three stone dead. Policemen from Ipakodo Division, who were
contacted, arrived the scene and took the corpses
to the Ikorodu General Hospital morgue. Residents express fear Some residents, who spoke toVanguard on phone, expressed fear over the safety of their
lives, revealing that such attacks on residents had
become overbearing. One of them said: “This is not the first time a thing
like this is happening. This is the handiwork of Badoo boys, because they use same tactics for their operation. “At times, they would rape their victims before
smashing their heads with a grinding stone. At
other times, they would not rape but just kill. They
don’t spare any family member whenever they
strike.
