The Ekiti State Amotekun Corps has discovered the remains of two young girls in the bush in Aramoko-Ekiti during its recent operation.
The Head of the Communications Department for the Corps, Officer Adeleye Abiodun Adewale, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, October 17, 2024.
According to the statement, the deceased girls were murdered and buried in the bush by a 29-year-old serial k!ller, named Ogunnaike Philip, who was arrested in Ogun state.
Ogunnaike allegedly k!lled at least three young girls, including an 18-year-old in three separate incidents across Ogun State.
The suspect was said to have spent a month in the IIao area of Aramoko-Ekiti during which he k!lled two other girls identified as Taiwo and Fatoki Seun.
“The remains of Taiwo (age withheld) were found inside the bush at Egbewa street, behind an uncompleted building in Aramoko-Ekiti, while the corpse of an 18-year-old Fatoki Seun was discovered inside the bush at Oke-Oja street of the same town,” the statement read.
“The Operatives of Ekiti West Local Government Command explained how the long-decayed remains led to air pollution at the scene, as they were massively associated with maggots.
“The carrion, have since been packed by The Health/Environmental Officers in Aramoko-Ekiti to The General Hospital of the town.”
