Another Girl raped, matcheted to death in Ibadan

Barely nine days after the murder of a postgraduate student of University of Ibadan, Shomuyiwa Azeezat, who was pregnant, in Akinyele local government area of Ibadan, another lady, a 100-level student of Oke Ogun Polytechnic, Saki, Grace Oshiagwu, has been reportedly raped to death by unknown persons at her parent’s residence, Idi Ori Sasa, Ojoo, in the same Akinyele local government.

The incident, which happened at about 3pm, was confirmed by the Oyo State Police Command, via a statement that was released by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Oyo State Command, Gbenga Fadeyi.

The statement reads, “One Grace Oshiagwu ‘f’ aged 21 yrs, was macheted on her head in a church mission building at Idi-ori Area Shasha off Expressway by unknown assailant(s) today 13/06/2020 about 3.00 pm.

“Investigation has commenced into the matter and the Police Tactical teams are on the trail of the assailant(s).

“While efforts intensified, we want to continue to solicit for credible information from members of the communities around the area and the general public to unravel the misery behind these dastard killings.”

It would be recalled that a year one student at Federal College of Animal Health and Production, Barakat Bello, was also raped and murdered by unknown gunmen that invaded her home in Ibadan, making it three cases of such gruesome murder in recent weeks.

The body, which was discovered by her dad was later examined and it was discovered that she was raped before she was gruesomely killed.
