The police in Ekiti State have discovered the body of a man
identified simply as Kola in a bush around Okela-State Housing in
Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
Kola, according to the police, was wanted for allegedly
strangulating his wife, Titilayo, to death last Saturday. He disappeared
with their newborn twins.
The incident happened in their one-room apartment located at no 23, Temidire Street, Ajowa, Ado-Ekiti.
According to a statement by the spokesperson of the Ekiti Police
Command, Mr. Victor Babayemi, Kola’s body was found in the bush
following a manhunt for him on Saturday.
The statement reads: “The police found the body of Kola, the husband
of the late Titilayo, murdered and dumped in a canal at Oke-Ila in
Ado-Ekiti. The twins are yet to be found. Investigation was in top gear
to find the twins as well as the killers of the couple.”
A source said the late Kola must have fallen victim to ritualists
who forcefully took the twins from him and killed him to cover their
track.
The souce explained: “Kola must have supported them (the ritualists)
in some way by accepting to deliver his set of twins, killing his own
wife to cover his tracks but, from the way things are looking, his other
members applied a reverse gear and killed him, taking charge of the
twins .”
