Two young girls, who went to farm in Iju in
Akure North local government area of Ondo
State on Saturday, have been found dead with
their heads severed from their bodies.
One of the girls, it was learnt is a daughter to
a policeman and the other, a daughter of one
of the residents in the town. The girls, who
were friends, went to the farm to help their
parents fetch firewood.
The death of the teenagers has thrown the
entire community into mourning with many
people saying the two girls were allegedly
killed by some suspected ritualists.
A source told reporters that the girls, named
as Oyinkansola Owoeye and Folasade Bello,
both of whom were aged 12, went to the farm
on Saturday but did not return that day.
After waiting for several hours without the
girls returning, the source narrated that their
parents and other relatives organised a search
party to look for them. Their lifeless bodies
were later found by the road side.
The source added that there were machetes
cuts all over their bodies and their blood had
been drained away, heightening fears that the
girls might have been murdered by ritualists.
The monarch of the town, the Okiti of Iju, Oba
Amos Farukanmi, who confirmed the incident
to New Telegraph on phone, said that such
an experience had not occurred in the town
before.
