A woman, 50, was yesterday, allegedly killed in Arigidi Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The deceased, who was simply identified as ‘Iya Dunsi’, was said to be a palm oil seller in the town until her death.

It was gathered that the woman, who was found dead near her house at Odiolowo, in Arigidi-Akoko, was allegedly killed by suspected ritualists.

Sources said her two breasts were clinically removed, while her private part was also not found.

Findings by Daily Sun revealed that the lifeless body of the deceased was dropped about 100 metres to her house.

Hundreds of passers-by and sympathisers were catching a glimpse of her naked corpse, with rope tied to one of her legs.

Divisional Police Oficer (DPO) in charge of Okeagbe-Akoko, Ibitayo Adetanranmi, who confirmed the incident, assured the perpetrators of the crime would be fished out soon.

Also, Ikare Area Commander, Razak Rauf, said criminals, like ritualists, will  not be spared under his command.

Three similar cases happened late last year at Ikare-Akoko, involving women whose private parts and breasts were removed.

In the same vein, a middle aged woman, simply identified as Toyin, was, yesterday, found dead in her room in Akure, the Ondo state capital.

Toyin, who was said to be a food vendor at the popular tipper garage in Isinkan quarters, Akure, was found lifeless in her room.

Sources at her residence said the deceased had already finished cooking for the day, as usual, but could not go out for business.
