It has been little after a week when a 20-month-old baby was abducted during a naming ceremony in Abeoku­ta, Ogun State, suspected ritualists have abandoned the corpse of a 23-year-old alleged commercial sex worker at Olomoore Junction in the outskirts of the state capital.
The victim was identified as Sitira, was found yesterday morning, at a dumpsite in the area with a large chunk of the flesh on her right hand cut.
Checks revealed that a relation identified the corpse of the victim, sus­pected to be one of the commercial sex work­ers operating within the Abeokuta metropolis, after a police rescue team from the Lafenwa Divi­sional Police headquar­ters evacuated the body from the dumpsite.
It was gathered that the deceased, who was in company with an­other lady, whose where­abouts was unknown as at press time, was alleged to have been thrown out of a moving sport utility vehicle (SUV) at the Olo­moore refuse dump.
The items found at the scene, included pants, brassieres, ladies’ arm­less camisole, lipsticks, powder kits, nail-paint and a pack of cotton wool.
It was gathered that Sitira’s corpse was on the ground about 500 metres from the ladies’ items strewn about the scene.
Upon close observa­tion, it was discovered that a substantial amount of the flesh from her right hand had been cut off.
As stated by a resident, Sitira was a 23-year-old lady living with her mother in the Iberekodo area of Abeo­kuta North Local Gov­ernment Area after the death of her only child about two years ago. She was an ap­prentice hairdresser, was last seen in the house at about 10 pm on Saturday night, where they had discussions about the victim’s plans for her graduation.
