Aramoko-Ekiti, the headquarters of Ekiti-West, remains in a state of mourning following the tragic discovery of two teenage girls’ corpses in separate nearby bushes.
The grim discovery has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving residents devastated.
One of the victims, an 18-year-old girl, had been missing since September 20, according to her father, Mr Akinleye Fatoki.
In an interview in Aramoko-Ekiti, Mr Fatoki explained that they had been desperately searching for his daughter, reporting her disappearance to the local police, but without success.
The breakthrough in the case came when a video surfaced on social media, showing a suspect, identified as Ogunaike Philip, who was arrested in Ogun State.
In the video, the suspect confessed to killing several teenage girls, including two in Aramoko-Ekiti.
This shocking revelation led to the discovery of Mr Fatoki’s daughter’s corpse at a dumping site near the Areti River along Alafe Road in Aramoko-Ekiti.
Mr Fatoki, however, denied any prior connection between the suspect and his daughter, expressing shock over the tragic turn of events.
Meanwhile, the bodies of both victims have been recovered by security personnel, who are now conducting an autopsy to ascertain further details while families and residents wait for justice to be served.
The suspect, Ogunaike Philip, had admitted in a viral video to killing multiple teenage girls, including the two young women in Aramoko-Ekiti. His confession has intensified the grief and anxiety within the town, as concerned residents continue to express their sorrow and outrage.
