17 year old Bowen University student killed by cultists for “being too proud”

  

Opeyemi Odusanya, a 17 year old biochemistry student of Bowen University was brutally killed by cultists in the Alakukuo area of Lagos for allegedly rejecting their sexual advances.

The girl who had gone out to buy recharge cards in the neighborhood was alone at home when several boys believed to be cult members trailed her into her house and made her turn on the generator so that her screams would not be heard. After the generator was turned on the boys tried to rape her which caused a big struggle as the house was found in disarray, after this the boys stabbed her several times until her intestines came out and she died.

The boys escaped in the jeep of the girls parents after they found the keys on the table. They later sent the girls mother an SMS using her phone. The SMS read, “Your child has been proud. We have been toasting her, but she has refused to accept. We have killed her to teach a lesson. We have also driven your car away. “If you want your car back, come to Lakas Hotel or Cele Bus Stop around Mile 2 to pick it up. If we see policemen around, we will kill everybody.”

A police source whilst recounting the incident said, “In the afternoon of February 3, 2014, the deceased went to buy airtime for her telephone. As she was returning, a group of cult members trailed and entered the house with her.  “Opeyemi was alone at home when the guys entered. They instructed her to turn on the generator so that if she screamed, no one would hear.“We believe that they wanted to rape the girl, but she must have put up a fierce struggle as the whole house was scattered. “The guys subsequently stabbed her in the stomach several times and ripped out her intestines. “After killing her, they took her phone and the keys to her parents’ vehicle, a jeep, which was on the table. They stole the jeep, which was parked in the compound, after killing the girl.”
