The mother of
the deceased, Kehinde Ajayi, while narrating her ordeal on Friday, said the
deceased was discovered to be missing at about 1:15 pm on Thursday after she
was said to have gone in search of her missing money.
A
seven-year-old girl, Olagoke Morire, who was declared missing on Thursday in
Ado Ekiti, was found dead inside a cotenant’s vehicle.
Ajayi said
she and the deceased’s twin brother, as well as neighbours, raised the alarm
and a search was launched around the compound.
Her body was
discovered at about 8 pm inside a cotenant’s vehicle that was parked in the
compound.
” When we
woke up in the morning I took care of my children as usual.
” They are
twins. I gave them money to buy biscuits and left them in the house with my
cousin.
” It was
after this that I received a distress call from one of my neighbours around 3pm
that Morire was missing and that they have searched everywhere but could not
find her.
” I quickly
left what I was doing and rushed home. We searched everywhere for her, yet we
didn’t find her.
” We then
reported the incident to Ologede Police Division and we were told to wait for
24 hours before they could take any action.
” It was
later around 8 pm, same Thursday, that someone discovered her corpse inside a
vehicle parked in our compound with her body peeled off,” she said.
Confirming
the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, ASP Abutu
Sunday, described the incident as unfortunate.
He said there
was a report of the missing girl at the police division in Ologede.
” All efforts
to recover the little girl turned out unsuccessful until 8 pm
” She was
found lifeless in one of the cars parked within their compound,” he said.
Abutu said
the corpse of the girl had already been evacuated and deposited at the morgue
of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital in Ado-Ekiti.
He said an
autopsy would be conducted to unravel the actual cause of death.
