Murder Incident reported in the early hours
of Sunday 30th July 2017 where police
operatives of the Lagos state command
responded to a distress call at Oke Ota,
Ibeshe, Ikorodu area of Lagos state.
Mobilizing to the scene where the police
operatives found it extremely difficult to
locate the house which was situated in a
thick forest where it’s remotely impossible
for anybody to identify a dwelling house in
the area.
Eventually arriving at the scene on foot, the
house where a family of five was attacked,
which is just a room & parlour with one
open window and no visible form of
security, it was reported that 3 died on the
spot, (1) died while receiving treatment at
the hospital and the last member is alive and
responding to treatment.
As investigation commenced no visible trace
of violence or clues linked to the cultist
group was found. No stone was found at
the scene. A case of murder is being
investigated by police detectives, which
doesn’t fit in the modules of operadi of the
cult group.
The Lagos state police command is using
this opportunity to call on LCDA, CDA
chairman, traditional rulers who may be
aware of residents staying in isolated areas
which are no longer safe to report/identify
with the police in order to stop people from
dwelling in insecure areas without proper
social structures
The command also wishes to inform
members of the public to come forward
with useful information to aid the police and
not resort to jungle justice while an
investigation is ongoing in order not to
jeopardize the investigation that may lead to
the arrest of the alleged suspects who are
on the command’s watch list.
