On Sunday, the Ondo State Police Command reported that it had found the body of Gbenga Olofingboyegun (a man) at the Akure primary school in the Akure area of the state on Saturday.

Olofinmoyegun was a director of the Ondo State Teaching Service Commission. He left his office on Thursday and went missing.

His whereabouts were not known so it was discovered that his friends and family suspected that he was kidnapped and were waiting to hear from his abductors about a ransom payment.

Sources said that Olofinmoyegun was still missing until his body was discovered on the premises of a primary school in the area.

The source said Olofingboyegun’s head and some other parts of his body had been removed, raising suspicion that he was killed by suspected ritualists.

“The suit and tie he wore to the office on the day he was missing were still on him when his body was found without his head and some other part of his body,” the source said.

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Odunlami, said the mutilated corpse of the late director was found on Saturday in Akure, explaining that the deceased was identified by some people through the suit he wore before he went missing.

She said, “Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon somebody called to inform us that a decomposing corpse was found at Saint Theresa, close to St. Peter in Akure. When the police got there to remove the corpse, some people came around and identified him as the director we have been searching for for the past three days.

“It was his suit they used to identify him, but his head had been cut off and his chest ripped open while his intestine was removed. The investigation has started. His phone was left behind and some other things too. So, we are going to work with what we have to know if he has issues with anybody. And if it is a ritual case, it is an investigation that will reveal all these.”

God have mercy
