Residents of Oke Oniyo Street, Ajilosun, in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, have been thrown into a state of confusion after a suspected ritualist mutilated the remains of a teenager identified as Goodluck.
According to reports, the deceased died after sustaining a minor injury while playing football.
It was learned that Goodluck became ill as the severity of his wounds increased, and he passed away soon after.
The next morning, it was discovered that his eyes, tongue, and other parts had been removed, and it is believed that he was deposited in a room to be buried.
Narrating the incident, some residents said “the corpse was brought by the family at evening.”
“We wondered how such an evil act could have occurred without the knowledge of the family members who brought him.
“The boy’s part must have been removed for ritual purposes by those close to the family or who have access to the room where the boy was kept.”
A family source who pleaded anonymity, however, said the police have been invited to investigate the matter.
