The deadly cult group operating
at the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, Badoo, has struck again, killing a mother
and her two children.
Police in Lagos State said on
Tuesday that it had arrested two suspects in connection with the killing that
was carried out in a church’s premises.
Addressing reporters, the
Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Imohimi Edgal, confirmed the arrest, saying
that the incident happened at Temu village in Ikosi Ejirin Local Council
Development Area of the state.
While the police boss said that
two persons were killed in the attack, residents told newsmen that a mother and
her two children were killed in the incident.
Edgal said, “It is a clear case
of murder. The landlady has been arrested and an Okada rider has been arrested.
“One of the victims watched
television throughout the night with one of the suspects in our custody.
“It has nothing to do with ritual
killing as speculated.”
The CP said that investigation
had commenced into the killings.
Residents of the community said a
woman and her two children were killed by suspected “Badoo” cultists at about 2
am on Monday.
They explained further that the
criminals scaled the fence and killed the woman identified as Iyabo; her
4-year-old son David and her daughter, Rachael, 8, with stones while sleeping,
a trademark of the badoo group.
It was further learnt that
policemen from Agbowa Police Division had evacuated the corpses to the
mortuary.
