The entire Festival Town in Lagos was thrown into pandemonium on
Thursday evening as a decomposing body of a man was discovered inside a
duplex on B Close, House 6 of 3rd Avenue. The decomposing body, it was
gathered, was that of the younger sibling of two brothers allegedly
living together in the duplex which was left for them by their deceased
parents.
The corpse was identified as that of Akinbuyi Ajayi, 39, living in the
same apartment with Toye Ajayi and Omotola Ajayi, who were identified
as his brothers. He was allegedly killed by his brothers and his body
kept in a room inside the flat. The corpse had been mutilated by the
two brothers. A police source alleged that Toye and Omotola were
selling the body parts of their brother for money, adding that the two
were caught with some human parts which eventually led to a search on
their apartment by law enforcement personnel.
Toye and Omotola were suspected to have chopped off the head, hands,
private part and part of the two legs of Akinbuyi and allegedly sold
them to suspected ritualists. The decomposing body of Akinbuyi was
moved by the policemen attached to FESTAC Police Station led by the
Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Mohammed Mu’azu, a Chief Superintendent
of Police and officials of Amuwo Odofin Local Government council to a
morgue, while the police took other items recovered from the house into
custody.
Residents of FESTAC came out in their large numbers to watch the
horrifying spectacle as the council officials and policemen removed the
body. Apart from the body that was recovered from the house, charms,
amulets, a pot filled with human blood and two large dummies of human
beings were discovered. Some of the charms and amulets were concealed
inside a carton with the inscription: Lord Krishna Agabarthi 999.
Omotola, who claimed to be an engineer denied knowing anything about
the corpse. He claimed to be jobless, adding that he depended on
goodwill of people to survive along with Toye. He denied knowledge of
the death of his brother. He explained that Akinbuyi was arrested
recently by sanitation task force, adding that the deceased spent three
days in prison.
Omotola also said Akinbuyi was born in 1973 and that he usually went
out and came in at will. He told the police that his brother’s killers
must have committed the act before dumping the deceased inside one of
the rooms. He further said their father died in a motor accident
recently. Their father, he claimed, was the owner of the duplex where
they live. Akinbuyi’s corpse was dumped in one of the rooms upstairs.
Toye described himself as a primary school teacher. When the police asked him where he teaches, he could not utter a word.
