Ritualists kidnap girl; kill her, remove tongue, breasts, and clitoris

Ritualists may have taken over Ogere, Ogun State, on Lagos-Sagamu
expressway as a female victim on her way to Lagos from Port Harcourt was
kidnapped and taken away at gun point for slaughter.

Her fresh corpse was later found close to the point where she was
kidnapped two weeks later, with vital organs of her body, including
tongue, breasts and clitoris missing and it was gathered that this is
the second of such incident occurring in the area in three weeks……continue

The victim, Miss Tonia Ibelefa, 25, was travelling in company of two male relations in a private car when the incident occurred.

Eyewitness told Vanguard that the armed ritualists blocked the
expressway, dragged the University of Port Harcourt graduate out of the
car and took her into the bush, adding that the two male family members
with the girl surrendered her at gun point.

“She is the one we want and you must surrender her,” the ritualists told the two men, according to the witness.

The witness said the matter was immediately reported to the police in
the area who launched a manhunt for the criminals to no avail.

Messages were also said to have been sent to the girl’s family in
Port Harcourt who also reported the case to the police who immediately
declared a case of missing person.

Thinking that it was a case of kidnap, the family waited to hear from the abductors but got no information about her whereabout.

However, the ritualists last Thursday called the parents through the
number obtained from their victim’s phone, advising them to pick up the
corpse of their daughter at a junction very close to where the incident
happened.

Elder sister of the deceased confirmed that that family had since
recovered the corpse, which still looked very fresh at the time of
recovery, giving an indication that she was not killed immediately she
was kidnapped.
