PHOTO: 17-year-old student of Bowen University Brutally Murdered For Refusing S*xual Advances

This story just breaks my heart. So we now live in a
time where cultists enter people’s home and murder
the person just because…? Until recently, I really
thought cultist had reduced in Nigeria, but
apparently, it has even spread out to even non
students. I pray the guys who perpetuated this great
evil are brought to book.

May her soul rest in peace.

Amen. Please read:

The life of a 17-year-old student of Bowen University,
Opeyemi Odusanya, has been cut short by some cult
members in Lagos.
It was gathered that the undergraduate was
murdered for allegedly rejecting s*x_ual advances
from some youths in the area and also for “being too
proud.”
The victim was a 300 level student of Biochemistry at
the university.
Police authorities told reporters that Opeyemi was
stabbed to death by the cultists at her parents’ house
in the Alakuko area of Lagos on February 3, 2014.
Police sources say investigations had revealed that
the culprits were residents of the area.


A police officer, who wished to remain anonymous,
said, “In the afternoon of February 3, 2014, the
deceased went to buy airtime for her telephone. As
she was returning, a group of cult members trailed
and entered the house with her.
“Opeyemi was alone at home when the guys entered.
They instructed her to turn on the generator so that if
she screamed, no one would hear.
“We believe that they wanted to rape the girl, but she
must have put up a fierce struggle as the whole house
was scattered.



“The guys subsequently stabbed her in the
stomach several times and ripped out her
intestines.
“After killing her, they took her phone and the keys to
her parents’ vehicle, a jeep, which was on the table.
They stole the jeep, which was parked in the
compound, after killing the girl.”
The sources told our correspondent that after the
guys had fled, they used Opeyemi’s telephone line to
send a text message to her mother, explaining why
they killed the 17-year-old.
The text message, which was typed in English and
Yoruba languages, and made available to reporters
read:
“Your child has been proud. We have been
toasting her, but she has refused to accept.


We have killed her to teach a lesson. We
have also driven your car away.
“If you want your car back, come to Lakas
Hotel or Cele Bus Stop around Mile 2 to
pick it up. If we see policemen around, we
will kill everybody.”
Residents of the area told our correspondent that the
victim’s mother, Olayinka, had a panic attack after
reading the message and quickly informed those that
were with her.


However, a phone call from the family’s housemaid
was said to have confirmed Olayinka’s fears that the
text message was not a bluff.
It was learnt that she returned to the house to meet
the lifeless body of her child.
It is gathered that the mother of the deceased, who is
a senior official at the Mushin Local Government
secretariat, later reported the incident at the Alakuko
Police Division.


A police source told news men that the murder
weapon had been recovered.
“By all indications, the girl was not raped because her
clothes were intact. The knife used in killing her has
been recovered,” the policeman said.
It was gathered that the parents of the girl had
relocated to the Redemption Camp on the Lagos-
Ibadan Expressway.
Our correspondent, who visited the Facebook page of
the deceased, observed that tributes had been
pouring in for the 300 level student.
One of her friends, Folake Kuforiji, wrote:
“RIP Dear, May your soul rest in perfect
peace and may the Almighty God protect
and console the rest of your family. A real
gem is gone. I remember back then in
secondary school when we used to call you
Ope International. You left us too soon, but
God knows best.”
A man, Adeniji Chigozie, who claimed to be her
former teacher, wrote:
“Remember those days in class. You were
one of the students I cherished and
respected. You were respectful and
intelligent. As a teacher, I was very proud
of you. The details of the cause of your
death are still sketchy and confusing.
Nigeria has lost another intelligent and
beautiful mind – A great star has
fallen!“Above all, I wish your family and
loved ones the fortitude to bear this
shocking loss – May God in His gracious
nature comfort them, amen!”
When contacted on the telephone, Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Ngozi Braide, said, “I have
called the Divisional Police Officer at the Alakuko
Police Division and he said he was not aware of the
incident.”
