In the past four weeks, the community of Anibaba, Bugon Filling Station and Water Corporation, Obafemi Awolowo Road, Ikorodu has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.
This came after a bloated female corpse was discovered on Thursday, December 3; six others on Saturday, December 5, 2015; and two more on Tuesday, December 15.
The mystery surrounding the deaths has raised a lot of dust, especially because of the unseemly conspiracy of silence that has enveloped the community since the first discovery.
It was gathered that residents had woken up to find the first corpse in Anibaba Canal, close to Andrew Street, that Thursday. By Sunday, five other female corpses were discovered at Agunbiade Street at Itupatie.
While residents were trying to fathom the mystery surrounding the corpses that were discovered in the community, two other corpses were found on Tuesday, December 15 down Anibaba. While one was dumped inside the drainage system, the other was lying inside the bush.
Lifeless inside the bush
Unlike the other six corpses initially recovered, the last two corpses were fresh. One of the corpses had blood stains on its nose and mouth while the other one inside the drainage was naked, but with no part of the body missing. Another mystery is that the bags and valuables belonging to the two victims were found next to their bodies.
