Sad:- Two Young Girls Beheaded In Iju, Ondo State

Two young girls, who went to farm in Iju in
Akure North local government area of Ondo State
on Saturday, have been found dead with their
heads severed from their bodies.
One of the girls, it was learnt is a daughter to a
policeman and the other, a daughter of one of the
residents in the town. The girls, who were
friends, went to the farm to help their parents
fetch firewood.
The death of the teenagers has thrown the entire
community into mourning with many people
saying the two girls were allegedly killed by some
suspected ritualists.
A source told reporters that the girls, named as
Oyinkansola Owoeye and Folasade Bello, both of
whom were aged 12, went to the farm on
Saturday but did not return that day.
After waiting for several hours without the girls
returning, the source narrated that their parents
and other relatives organised a search party to
look for them. Their lifeless bodies were later
found by the road side.
The source added that there were machetes cuts
all over their bodies and their blood had been
drained away, heightening fears that the girls
might have been murdered by ritualists.
The monarch of the town, the Okiti of Iju, Oba
Amos Farukanmi, who confirmed the incident to
New Telegraph on phone, said that such an
experience had not occurred in the town before.
