A yet-to-be-identified man has been killed, burnt, concealed in a sack, and dumped in a gutter by suspected cultists in Oke Aro, Akure, the Ondo State capital.
It was gathered that the residents woke up, yesterday, to find a sack where the victim was concealed in the drainage around Green Park in the Akure metropolis.
According to Vanguard, a resident, Bayo Oladejo, said: “This is a cult war. They dealt with the victim. They not only killed him but also set his body ablaze. The victim was dumped at that particular location as there was no sign that his body was burnt where it was dumped.”
Meanwhile, residents of the area have called on the local government authorities to help evacuate the body to avoid an epidemic.
The state police spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, when contacted confirmed that a case of a corpse concealed in a sack was dumped in a gutter in the Oke-Aro area of the state capital.
Odunlami said: “The message we got was that a shop was burning. But by the time we got there, we saw a sack in the gutter. Observing the content closely, we discovered it was a dead and burnt human.”
The PPRO said the bag was dumped there in the early hours of the day at about 7 am while everyone was doing their everyday business.
She advised that people should not keep quiet at times like this, and should be more careful of the happenings within and around their communities.
Odunlami said investigations have commenced.
