A 44-year-old Mayowa Ajiboye was allegedly raped and murdered in February 2024 by a suspected ritualist, Yemi Atolagbe, in Aran- Orin community, Irepodun local government area of Kwara State.

The corpse of Mayowa was allegedly burnt and thrown into a river by the suspected ritualist.

Though the law enforcement agency had arrested the suspect, the family of the victim is disturbed that he has not been charged before a court.

They, therefore, called on the minister of women affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye and relevant authorities to intervene in the matter to get justice served on the matter.

The victim’s family, who appealed during an interview with our reporter, lamented what they described as “delayed justice”.

LEADERSHIP reports that the Kwara State police commissioner, Victor Olaiya, had some time ago paraded the suspected ritualist, saying that an investigation on the matter was ongoing.

The police spokesperson in the state, Ejire Adeyemi-Adetoun, described the suspect as a monster.

She added that investigation revealed that the suspect used a stick to hit the victim on the head, killed, raped her and then scrapped some of her pubic hair before burning the corpse for ritual.

She said the quick intervention of the police officers prevented the residents of the community where the incident happened from resorting to jungle justice.

One of the four children of the victim, who is 26 years old, and the eldest amongst them, Ayobami Oloyede, lamented the agony that the gruesome murder of Mayoba had inflicted on them.

They said the deceased was responsible for the education of her children while alive and that there is no one to play that role again.
