members of the gang stormed Mr.
Israel Olusanya’s home at Itamaga,
Radio Area of Erunwen at 1a.m., on
Tuesday, in a black SUV. 46-year-
old Olusanya was a farmer, while
his wife was a teacher.
The assailants gained entry into the
apartment through a window,
smashed the Olusanya’s heads with
a grinding stone, ripped the
pregnant woman’s womb open and
removed the foetus.
A resident, who claimed to have
seen them leaving the building,
disclosed that the killers wore
hoods.
The family (inset) and their home.
When Vanguard visited the
bungalow, erected close to a canal,
a relative of the deceased, who
spoke on the condition of
anonymity, described his brother’s
death as unfortunate, adding “my
brother, his pregnant wife, Oriyomi,
and two children—Wale, 10, and
Semilore, five—died.
“We found the first daughter
unconscious and naked, with a
black cloth tied round her head. She
is still in the hospital as I speak.
They used grinding stones on them
and nothing was removed from the
house to indicate they were
robbers.”
Another resident, Olagunsoye
Oribami, said: “What happens in a
community where constituted
authorities cannot provide security?
What could his pregnant wife have
done to warrant such ill-treatment?
“His two children killed with a
mortar. It is so sad to see that
Baddo gang has not been
neutralised. What is the function of
police in Ikorodu, when they cannot
give us peace of mind?”
The remains of Olusanyo, who
hailed from Ikorodu, was buried in
his compound yesterday, while
those of his wife and two children
will be buried today.
Describing the family as a peace-
loving, a resident revealed that 40
persons have been killed by Badoo
Boys so far , calling on security
operatives to step up, with a view
to bringing the perpetrators to
book.
Some of them accused some
traditional rulers in the area of
sponsoring the group.
