21-yr-old Fresh Graduate Raped To Death In Ogijo

POLICE in Ogun State have begun
investigations into the mystery
surrounding the death of a 21-year-old
lady, who just graduated from the
Lagos State Polytechnic.
Two people, said to be neighbours of the
deceased have reportedly been arrested in
connection with the incident by men of the
state police command.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the
deceased, simply identified as Nafisat,
was last Wednesday, raped and
strangled to death at her residence in
Ogijo, in Ikorodu area of Ogun State.
There are also strong indications that the
trauma of death of the fresh graduate might
have resulted in mental torture for her
mother, who is said to be receiving
treatment at an unnamed hospital
Nafisat was said to have been alone in the
family apartment and still basking in the
euphoria of her academic success, on the
April 27, when the rapists reportedly
pounced on her.
A resident of the area, who pleaded
anonymity, while speaking with the
Nigerian Tribune, stated that the late
Nafisat’s mother, a teacher, had reportedly
gone to school when the incident occured.
It was also gathered that it was the mother
of the deceased, who returned from the
school to find her daughter Unclad and in a
pool of blood, before she alerted her
neighbours.
There was, however, no trace of the
perpetrators of the dastardly act as at
Sunday afternoon, as residents of the area
were still baffled by the circumstances
surrounding the death.
Nigerian Tribune also learnt that the police
could not perform a postmortem on the
remains of the deceased as her body had
been buried according to islamic rites.
