The ritual cult group operating in Lagos State, Badoo, has struck again in the Itesiwaju Community Development Area, Ibeshe, Ikorodu, of the state, killing a man, his son and sister-in-law and injuring his wife.
According to Punch, the man’s wife sustained serious injuries and was admitted to the Ikorodu General Hospital.
The newspaper reports that the victims were found dead in the apartment on Thursday morning by one of the couple’s children who was on a visit.
The victims were identified as members of the Aro family.
A resident of a neighbouring community, who gave his name only as Israel, told Punch that the assailants gained entry into the apartment by tearing the window net.
He said, “I learnt about the incident this morning (Thursday) and I went to the area. There was no burglar proof bar on the windows of the family’s apartment.
“The man, his son and his wife’s younger sister were found in a pool of blood. The wife survived but she was in a critical condition. The sister-in-law had visited them. I was told that it was the couple’s daughter who also visited this morning (Thursday) that raised the alarm.
“The sight of the deceased was very gory. From all indications, the attack was perpetrated by Badoo members.”
When contacted by DAILY POST to confirm the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, did not pick his call.
