Suspected ritualists last Sunday beheaded a widow, Mrs. Rukayat Jimoh at  Ayetoro, Ogbagi Akoko,Ondo State. The murder of Jimoh has turned the entire community into  mourning.

Those who killed Jimoh, removed some vital organs which they took  away.

It was gathered that,Rukayat as she was fondly called   hailed from Akungba; got  married in Ogbagi, but lost her husband years back which was  the reason she lived alone.

Meanwhile, Policemen  have cordoned off the entire area as at Monday morning.

A police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity as he was not suppose to speak with the press, said, “the victim was butchered; her  heart was ripped off her body after which all other internal organs including her vagina were made away with by her killers. They severed her vagina and head. I have never seen such a thing of that nature before.”

The traditional ruler of the Town, Obama Victo Ojo Adetona, the Owa of Ogbagi, said he has  summoned an emergency meeting of Owa in Council, which he said was the most powerful arm of command of the Palace to deliberate on the issue.
