Dead bodies of Women with private parts removed, found by roadside in Lagos

Residents of Atele Street in the Anibaba community, Ikorodu, Lagos State, woke up yesterday to find two naked dead women by the roadside. According to Punch, their breasts and private parts had been removed.

Residents in the area say the incident was the second time in two weeks that mutilated bodies of women would be found in the area.

Just last Monday, six women were found dead in a canal in the area on Saturday, December 5.

Now again, on Tuesday, two women were found by the roadside, stripped naked and mutilated.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, a resident, who gave her name only as Iyiola, said the faces of the deceased were not familiar to any of the residents.

She said:

     “The spot where we found these women on Tuesday is just some distance away from the canal. The bodies were dumped behind a house on the street.

    “Just last week, six women were picked from a canal in this area. The bodies were found after a foul smell pervaded our area. On Tuesday, we were shocked to find two fresh corpses. We strongly suspect that the women were killed by ritual killers.

    “The bodies were stripped naked, while their breasts and private parts had been cut off. When are we going to stop seeing dead bodies?”

Another resident, who identified herself as Iya Sarah, said:

     “The police and the community development association must do something about these killings. There is obviously a serial killer in the community. One of the corpses found was that of a lady, who was stripped of everything.”
