A sad incident took place along Saka Adegbose Street, off Olu Odo Road, Ikorodu after some suspected ritual killers stormed the residence of a family of five children and killed two sibling.
The incident took place on Sunday with Azeezat Oriade and Abeeb Oriade losing their lives. Two of the remaining siblings – Abdulazeez and Jamiu – were said to be in a critical condition at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba.
According to Punch, four victims were sleeping in the living room while their mother and one other daughter were in the bedroom when the assailants struck around 1am.
It was gathered that the ritual killers had torn the net on one of the windows to gain access to the apartment and hit the four children with some objects.
Shortly after they left, Abdulazeez reportedly screamed, which woke up their mother and neighbours.
The father, Lateef, a commercial driver, was not around on the day. 21-year-old Azeezat, the eldest child of the family, died immediately while her brother, Abeeb, a Senior Secondary School 1 pupil, gave up the ghost at the Ikorodu General Hospital.
A former chairman of the community development association in the area, Alhaji Wale Oladunjoye, said the victims’ parents were traumatised and had been relocated by their relatives.
He said, “A few minutes after 1am, somebody banged on my door, shouting that the Oriades have been attacked. I called my brother and we went to the apartment. The incident was reported at the Ipakodo Police Division.
