A 43-year-old security guard has been beheaded by a
yet-to-be-identified person suspected to be ritualists in the Oka-Akoko
community, the headquarters of Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo
State.
It was learnt
that the victim identified as Rotimi Olukoju, who worked with a microfinance
bank in the town, was found dead on Thursday evening, October 29, by some
residents in a bush path.
Residents
said that Olokoju was killed on his way to the farm in the Iwaro area of
Oka Akoko while vital organs of his body were also removed and taken away.
A family
member of the late
Olukoju, who confirmed the incident on Friday, said his corpse had been taken
to the mortuary by the police.

He disclosed that the deceased started working at the
microfinance bank a few years ago
to complement his farming.
“Now, they have taken his life despite all the suffering. We are
pained by his death and most especially
the cutting of his head. My brother died a painful death but we have
resulted in spiritual means to unravel the real people behind this and I
pray God will expose those who did this to us,” he said.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Ondo State Police Command, Tee-Leo Ikoro, said they have
begun investigation into the crime, adding that the police would soon be
meeting with traditional chiefs and stakeholders in the community to
tackle the activities of the ritualists.
