The sight of the mutilated body of a three-year-old girl, Aliya Usman, killed by suspected ritualists, yesterday, threw residents of Ile Onigboro, Ita Elefun, Ita Ogunbo, Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, into deep mourning.
The bereaved family had earlier lost the immediate younger brother of the deceased to a strange illness about 10 months ago, making the death more pathetic.
When Vanguard visited the scene, the severed head of the victim was spotted at a refuse dump covered with a polythene bag while the remains of her badly mutilated body was deposited at a newly constructed soak-away pit.
Most of her body parts and organs were missing, and sympathisers rained curses on the callous and heartless killers.
Also, a red piece of cloth with a syringe carefully wrapped inside was found close to the severed head, lending credence to the assumption that her abductors drugged her before carrying out the dastardly act.
Narrating the incident, which occurred Tuesday, mother of the deceased, Aminat Usman, who wept profusely, described the death as a rude shock, adding that the family had lost the immediate younger brother of Aliya, AbdulSamad to strange illness about 10 months ago.
Amina said on that fateful day, when she woke up, she had hurriedly boiled rice for the family as Aliya didn’t eat her supper the previous day, adding that after she had eaten, she plaited hair, after which she was dressed in one of her beautiful clothes.
“However, I never knew that I was preparing her for the final journey home,” she added.
The deceased’s mother, a petty trader at Adabata, who relocated to Ilorin with her husband on the prompting of their parents to fully care for the children, said she became suspicious when the father, Tajudeen Usman, a driver, who plies the Ilorin-Lagos route at Sawmill garage enquired after the deceased at 12p.m. on the said day.
“I told him that she should be with the other children at her grand-father’s place. When I didn’t see her at the time I expected, I became very suspicious because this was very unusual of her.
“But after frantic search for her yielded no fruit up till about 7p.m., I became very apprehensive. At that moment, I felt cold. It was the shout from the search team later the next morning, at 6a.m. that threw the neighbourhood into agony.”

Was going on in this country, some people her heartless.
oh no! oh no!!! cant even read further. the title alone is dis-heartning.
Spiritualists and all such practicers should be outlawed. 'Babalawos' and the likes should be chased out of town. They require human organs and parts from desperate wealth seekers, and use them (parts) in their evil rituals. Let them burn...
Its so sad, God is watching finally and may he give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Naija... If it's not Boko Haram, it's kidnapping or ritual killings... Ok, so where do we hide our heads now??? God help us.

The world is evil, but don't let that put fear in you..only pray. Learn how to pray with/over your family everyday. Pray that evil will not come near their dwelling. No place is safe except in Christ, ur money n position won't save u, only Jesus can.
Pls spare a moment for my blog, it's a Non-Religious Christian blog...to bring the Word of God closer to u. God bless you.

Beautiful Linda, I am still asking you to pls add my blog to ur bloglist. I ask bc you have many pple visiting ur blog daily.
All I want is to preach the Word to them, even if I affect only one soul, it's more than enough for me.I'll keep asking,maybe one day you might consider
Unjustifiable act of wickedness. However, the mother of the child sounds like she wasn't very careful about the wherabouts of her THREE YEAR OLD CHILD.
"When I didn’t see her at the time I expected, I became very suspicious because this was very unusual of her.."
Pls Anon 2:20, give us ur name so we can point ritualist to your family! At least you will understand and not be angry that it's the situation of the country! Big FOOL!!!!!!
Amen! And for the person that killed that poor girl, may Almighty God never accept your repentance, so you'll burn in hell!
Kai!! Some peepz can b xo heartless!!! *so sad*... Rip lil 1
Amen
God pls save ur children oh. Nd to think dat the area is close to my Place of Primary Assignment. My head shall never be used for rituals... Amen
Lwkmo....
It is so sad and disheartning that people don't even have a conscience to do such evil.This country is backward because there is so much evil in the land.She is in the lord's bossom now.RIP
Please how will the soul rest in peace wen she was brutally murdered 4rituals. Wen God avenges her death by ensuring those reponsible r either apprehended or smfn then her soul wil def rip. Iam a mum n jt reading this I feel so pained
God has left Africa.
I can't believe people are still saying they are ritualists? remember the 10 yr old boy that was 'released' from ritualist in this same ilorin last year or so? They released him after taking his blood (not the genotype they wanted). This girl was unlucky cos she obviously matched and they took the organs they needed. The syringe wasnt for sedation ( mercy killing abi which levels), it was to take her blood sample. Its a shame this info is still flying over the police' head. Any surprises? Pls post my comment Linda.
Linda, you sef, haba. This lady has been begging you to add her blog to your blog list endlessly na.. You know I told you blogging is your calling and this is one of the ways you can use to spread the gospel. God bless you as you listen to this lady's request..
