Three young men have been found dead and their organs harvested by yet-to-be identified persons in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The incident which happened on Monday around Office Bus-Stop, after World Oil Petrol Station on new Ibadan/Oyo Expressway in Akinyele Local Government area of the state, left residents bewildered as one of the victims was beheaded while vital parts were also removed from the remaining two bodies.
A commercial driver, Abdulfatai AbdulGaniyu said, “I saw the lifeless body of these people in the morning when I was carrying passengers from Ojoo to Toose today. The case looks like ritual because one of them was beheaded.”
Another source who did not want his name in print said, “Passengers who are looking for cheap prices, cheap buses are normally staying at that bus-stop to board their vehicles to either Oyo, Ogbomoso, Ilorin and even Jebba.
“They cannot afford the fare at the terminal, that’s why they stay there, but this particular case is quite different because some of their vital organs were removed.”
In the meantime, as at press time, all efforts to reach the State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, were unsuccessful, as his mobile number was not reachable.
