46-year-old
Olusanya was a farmer, while his wife was a teacher.The assailants gained entry
into the apartment through a window, smashed the Olusanya’s heads with a
grinding stone, ripped the pregnant woman’s womb open and removed the foetus.
A
resident, who claimed to have seen them leaving the building, disclosed that
the killers wore hoods.
a relative of the deceased, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, described
his brother’s death as unfortunate, adding “my brother, his pregnant wife,
Oriyomi, and two children—Wale, 10, and Semilore, five—died. “We found the
first daughter unconscious and naked, with a black cloth tied round her head.
She is still in the hospital as I speak. They used grinding stones on them and
nothing was removed from the house to indicate they were robbers.” Another
resident, Olagunsoye Oribami, said: “What happens in a community where
constituted authorities cannot provide security? What could his pregnant wife
have done to warrant such ill-treatment? “His two children killed with a
mortar. It is so sad to see that Baddo gang has not been neutralised. What is
the function of police in Ikorodu, when they cannot give us peace of mind?” The
remains of Olusanyo, who hailed from Ikorodu, was buried in his compound
yesterday, while those of his wife and two children will be buried today.
Describing the family as a peace-loving, a resident revealed that 40 persons
have been killed by Badoo Boys so far , calling on security operatives to step
up, with a view to bringing the perpetrators to book. Some of them accused some
traditional rulers in the area of sponsoring the group.
