The attacker sexually assaulted the young lady and macheted her to death on Saturday afternoon at a church where her parents live.
A source, who confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters, said;
Yes, it was another rape case close to my street and the lady was murdered at the same Akinyẹle LGA where Barakat was killed a few weeks ago. But one thing that surprised me the most is that the lady’s hair was shaved and taken away too. I feel it was for ritual purposes.
He revealed that her corpse has been deposited at Adeoyo State Hospital in Ibadan for autopsy.
Confirming the incident, the police in Oyo State said an investigation into the case has commenced.
The incident comes almost 10 days after Shomuyiwa Azeezat, a 7 months pregnant postgraduate student at University of Ibadan, was allegedly raped and killed in the same Akinyele Local Government, in Oyo state.
The incident occurred in her apartment, where she was raped and smashed in the head with a stone, leading to her death.
It would also be recalled that Bello Barakat, an 18-year-old lady was raped and stabbed to death by her attackers in her family’s house at the Local Government Area of Ibadan.
The recurring rape and murder incidents in the same area in Ibadan has since sparked questions, as many wonder whether a serial rapist and killer is on the loose.
