At the early hours of Sunday, the notorious ritual cult, Badoo, murdered a man, his wife and two children in Ikorodu.
The cult killed a couple – Mr. and Mrs. Adejare – two of their children, while the third kid survived the attack and was being treated at the Ikorodu General Hospital.
The incident occurred at the family’s room and parlour apartment situated at 4, Ile Baba Shade Mosque, Oke Otta, Ajose in Ibeshe, Ikorodu, Lagos.
It was gathered that two of the three children,identified as Siyin and Ajoke who were minors, were raped before their brains were smashed.
This killing has rekindled panic in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State after a few weeks of relative peace.
Although two children were alive when residents discovered them on Sunday evening, one later passed on at the hospital, it was learnt.
According to a resident, the couple and a daughter died before morning, while their last born and the second daughter, were found unconscious and rushed to the hospital.
Their killers, she said, removed one of the glass windows to access the house while the family was asleep, adding that there was no burglary proof there.
She said the incident occurred very close to the community mosque, adding that it drew the ire of residents, who stormed the palace of the monarch.
She said that policemen were invited to evacuate the corpses when they were discovered yesterday, adding that youths in the community were already spoiling for war.
It was also learnt that the incident occurred close to where the very first attack from the ritual gang was recorded in Ikorodu.
At the time of filing this report, the identities of the victims were yet to be ascertained.
Contacted, the command’s spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) said investigation has commenced.
He said: “Police operatives were notified of the incident and they mobilised to the scene. They found it extremely difficult to locate the house, which was situated in a thick forest. It is remotely impossible for anybody to identify a dwelling house in the area.
“They arrived the scene eventually and discovered an open window. Five members of the family were attacked and three dies on the spot. One died while receiving treatment and the last family member is alive and responding to treatment.
