Scene of the incident
Residents of the Balogun Agoro area of
Osogbo, the Osun State capital were on Thursday shocked to discover the remains
of a 20-years-old lady, suspected to have been killed and dumped inside a pit
toilet by her boyfriend.
According to sources, the suspect, identified
simply as Soji, is a bricklayer and had been dating the lady for some years.
A resident of the area, who declined
identification, said residents of the area did not know that there was a corpse
inside the toilet until policemen from the Dugbe Division came to evacuate the
remains of the lady.
He said some residents had complained about
the stench of decaying flesh from the toilet, adding that nobody thought it was
a human being that was dumped there.
The resident said Soji used to pour
disinfectant into the toilet to suppress the stench, adding that nobody knew
while he was doing it until the police came on Sunday and evacuated the body of
the lady.
He added that the deceased used to come to
stay with the suspect for weeks.
He said, “Policemen came on Sunday and picked
the lady’s body from the toilet. They broke the wall before they could remove
her.
“The man’s name is Soji. The police initially
arrested the wrong person because that one’s name is also Soji. But I learnt
that they have released the innocent man.”
Another resident said nobody was sure if the
suspect killed his girlfriend.
He said, “The lady might have died and the
man, out of fear, dumped her body inside the toilet.”
An elder in the area, Alhaji Ajibade Adisa, said
the suspect was still on the run.
