The battered body of a man was discovered on Olopo Meji,
Oworonshoki Expressway in Lagos on Saturday June 14th. The body had been crushed many times by vehicles on the highway. Punch reports that the body was later identified as that of 35year old
Yemi, aka Topia, a resident of the area.
A resident of the area, Michael Oladipupo, told Punch that the dead man was the son of a landlord on Mabawonku Street. Oladipupo said Yemi was not killed by a
hit-and-run vehicle as the situation suggested, but his body was dumped
on the highway to serve as an alibi for his killers. Continue...
“I was called this morning (Saturday) around 9am and told that there was a corpse on the road. I came here and saw his body on the expressway. But as we traced its movement, we discovered that he was dragged to the expressway from a spot close to the Oworonshoki Bridge.
“After killing him, they dumped him on the road so that the scene would look like an accident. Vehicles and heavy-duty trucks passing by have torn his body into pieces so that people will not be able to identify him.” Oladipupo said
He said he could not tell whether some parts of his body were taken away for ritual purposes or not.
Investigations by Punch Metro revealed that Yemi was murdered by a gang suspected to be members of the Black Axe Confraternity, popularly called Aiye.
It was learnt from sources who craved
anonymity that the victim, who was a driver, was lured out of his room
in the night and bundled into an iron cart, on which he was wheeled to
the point of the murder.
“It was the Aiye members that killed him. Yemi is not a cultist, but he had friends who were Eiye members. Because there was a fight between the two cult groups, Yemi was mistaken for a member and targeted.
“They first inflicted machete wounds on him, but when it appeared he was not completely dead, they dragged him to the expressway for oncoming vehicles to finish what they started.” A source said
Some relatives of the deceased were seen
sobbing near the site of the incident, while others were overheard
breaking the sad news to other family members on the telephone.
A relative was overheard by our
correspondent in the telephone conversation, saying Yemi had had a
misunderstanding with a man who threatened to kill him.
She said, “They have killed him….He
called me few days ago on the telephone that somebody came to his house
with his boys and threatened to kill him if he does not pay the money he
owed him.”
When our correspondent approached her for comment, she said, “He was sleeping in his room when they cunningly drew him out.”

I finally tried that 112, my reply was, the number u dialed does not exist pls check the number and try ur call again. Thank you Jonathan and may it not be well with u, reno.
It is scary when a crime like cultism leaves the 4 walls of the school and spills into the streets. The problem is that in schools it can be checked and controlled, but out on the streets, that's a different ball game.
Don't be friends with cultists. A sheep shouldn't roll with a dog. He will one day be mistaken to eat vomit too. RIP Yemi.

I THINK THERE'S MORE TO THIS THAN IT SEEMS. BUT THEN AGAIN, WHY ON GOD'S GREEN JUICED UP BUT POLLUTED EARTH WOULD YOU KILL A FELLOW HUMAN BEING LIKE YOU'RE GONNA FEEL LIKE A DEMI GOD AFTER THE ACT? THEN WHEN YOU'RE CAUGHT, YOU BEGIN TO BLAME THE DEVIL WHO WAS ACTUALLY SITTING IN ONE SMALL CORNER THINKING ABOUT LIFE. *EDO SIGH* YOU KILL BY THE SWORD, YOU DIE BY THE SWORD. RIP TO THE VICTIM AND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE AGGRIEVED FAMILY.

Hmmmmmm.... Rip
One person said it was a cultist, the other person said it was a creditor who threatened to kill the debtor. RIP to the dead. The one who said it was a cultist should be arrested to give police some more insight and the person who said it was a creditor should also come forward with the details she has. either way who ever is involved must pay the price.
