The entire Festival Town, commonly called FESTAC 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.
