A woman in her late 20s has been confirmed dead after she was reportedly gang-raped in an abandoned building on Farawe Street, Agbado-Oja, in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
It was gathered that the yet-to-be-identified-woman was found naked and unconscious in a pool of her blood inside a building.
Punch reports that some children were playing football on a pitch near the building at about 6pm last Wednesday when their ball flipped into the building.
One of them, who went to pick the ball, reportedly discovered the victim groaning in pains and raised the alarm, which drew his peers and other residents to the scene.
An eyewitness, Soji, said the woman was immediately rushed to a hospital in the area, but died on the way.
He said, “I think the woman was gang-raped because there was bloodcoming out of her private parts and her mouth. She had become very weak and couldn’t talk when we asked her how she got into the building. She just gesticulated with her hands.
“We have not got to the Agbado division, where we wanted to obtain police report to present at a hospital when she died.”
Another eyewitness, who did not want his name mentioned, said the incident must have been perpetrated by suspected ritual killers.
“Her body has shrunk and she was frail. She was not from this community. I think this case is beyond ordinary rape; it has a ritual undertone,” he said.
The Baale of Ago-Agbado, Chief Sunday Oyeogun, said the woman’s corpse was buried around 2pm the following day as none of her relatives showed up.
