Suspected Ritualist plucks eyes, tongue of teenage boy in Ekiti
Ekiti State Police Command has been invited to investigate, and help unravel a case of a boy whose eyes and tongue were plugged by unknown person.
It was learnt that the boy known as Goodluck, sustained a mild injury in the leg while playing football and later fall sick.
The report said the boy died few days later perhaps due to infection or complications as a result of the injury.
The boy was said to be laid in a room over night in preparation for his burial, but his mother and other sympathizers could not believe what they saw as they found his body already mutilated before dawn.
According to the report, his both eyes were removed and his tongue cut off, while some part of the flesh around his mouth was also cut.
Some residents who narrated the incident, said the corpse of the boy was brought by the family at evening perhaps from where they took him for treatment.
They wondered how such an evil act could have occurred without the knowledge of the family members who brought him.
But another version said only the boy was left in the room as the mother was advised not to sleep with the corpse.
According to the residents, the boy’s part may have been removed for ritual and by somebody close to the family who have access to the room where the boy was kept.
