From EMMANUEL ADEYEMI, Lokoja
The people of Isanlu Headquarter Yagba Local Government Area of Kogi State were thrown into confusion recently following the gruesome murder of a thirteen year old girl who was deposited into a medium size freezer after been strangulated to death.
The girl identified as Yetunde Rachael Samuel, a JSS 2 student of Oluyori Comprehensive College, Isanlu was killed in the night of October 5 and neatly deposited inside a medium size freezer to create impression that the girl fell into the freezer and was frozen to death without any body knowing.
She was therefore hurriedly buried in the cover of the night without the parent or the guardian reporting her mysterious death to the police. But the state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Musa Katsina who got wind of the dastardly act, suspected a fowl play, arrested the guardian of the girl and ordered that the corpse be exhume for a thorough autopsy to confirm whether the girl actually jumped inside the freezer and got frozen.
It was a hectic time for Daily Sun and detectives led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Zannah Mohammed who travelled down to the community with pathologist from Federal Medical Centre to exhume the decomposing corpse for autopsy.
The guardian of the girl who was at the centre of the mysterious death, Mrs. Deborah Motunrayo Jaiyeoba claimed that she left the girl who was the daughter of her younger sister at home on Saturday morning and left for a marriage ceremony According to her, when she got back from the wedding ceremony and did not see Yetunde she thought she had gone to play In her words She was thirsty and raced to the deep freezer to get a sachet of water to drink when she suddenly discovered that Yetunde was stone dead and she immediately raised alarm Mrs. Jaiyeoba, a sanitary inspector at the local government claimed Yetunde wanted to clean the deep freezer in her small retail, when she fell into it and got frozen to death Curiously, the father of the deceased girl was said to have felt indifferent about the death of her daughter, as he reportedly consented that she should be buried immediately It was gathered that mother of Yetunde was impregnated while she was in school and decided to drop the girl since when she was two years old with her sister to go and remarry in Ilorin
However, the autopsy carried out revealed that the girl was actually killed for ritual purposes Preliminary doctor’s report confirmed that the girl died as result of neorogenic shock secondary to multiple skeletal injuries most likely sustained by blunt force trauma The doctor’s report said two of the girl’s teeth were removed. With some vital parts while the entire head region was battered with blunt instrument Speaking with Daily Sun, the CP said the whole episode was a case of culpable homicide, which is not bailable
He said the innocent girl was only brutally murdered, but expressed shock that the biological father of the girl did not show concern, instead, he brought a letter to his office along with somebody who claimed to be a judicial officer that the case be withdrawn.
He said when he interrogated the father; he could not even read nor comprehend the contents of the letter, which gave suspicion that some people were behind the murder. Musa Katsina called on members of the public to be more vigilante on their children and to know who to give their children to for upkeep. He vowed to pursue the case to a logical conclusion with those found guilty made to face the wrath of the law He gave the names of those arrested as 43-year-old Mrs. Jaiyeoba Deborah Motunrayo, who is the guardian and three of her children namely, Jaiyeoba Titilayo 20-year-old and Tunmininu jaiyeoba 23-year-old with jaiyeoba Femi, 18 years old Others are Shade Jimoh, Chief J. I. Owolabi, Raphael Owolabi, Raphael Abiodun and Tolulope Sunday
God have mercy on this country nigeria!
Na waoo
Endtimes is really close @ hand
God have mercy, all these wickedness because she was born out of wedlock and the mother doesnt give a fuck about her? some women are not fit to be mothers
There is indeed problem in Nigeria. May God save us. Those arrested if found guilty should be made to face the full weight of the law
The wrath of the law will take its course awaiting God’s . The quest for ultimate wealth will send so many to their early graves. God save this country called Nigeria. The Government should place a raddar on the traditional harbalists to x-ray their activities.
When people become rich overnight they should be investigated albeit it will continue unabated.

The Hobbesian postulations is more or less realising its obvious validity; life of a man is realy solitary,brutish,nasty and short, even crude. Is a pitty.
Mrs Deborah, u 2 ve children did u remember at all? Dear Yeyunde, may ur soul rest in peace Amen. The Lord ll judge.
Abomination! May God help this nation.
Kudos to the Kogi police boss. May Yetunde’s sprit con’t to hurt her killers
Nawaho
This is really sad.Why should they use an innocent girl 4 rituals and leave their children alone. She fell inside the freezer as if she is a baby still crawling. God would judge them as they would be exposed soon.
Wht a pitiful death!
God we commit our country Nigeria in your hands.. Take absolutely control. May the soul of the poor r.i.p. Amen.
Kudos 2 all those that helped in this discovery. It is possible that her father is involved in the ritual act & should be investigated properly. May God bles those pursueing this case!
This is too bad. money or what. Why?????
The way and manner Kogi state is positioning herself shows they wants to be the most calloused state in Nigeria. B/H state,killing of Christians in the church, ritual killing , fetism, dragging oil field that belongs to Anambra state sponsoring terrorism in the name of religion,It has esterblished itself as a devilish enclave.
Owerri tout Lik u deserve to be in th zoo can u compare th crime in th east an that in Kogi state Wer blood money is enshrine as part of igbo tradition incase u dont know Kogi state is th most tolerant state all over th country were th igbos liv in comfort without hitches despise dey ar th once importing all th evil tradition Bt as 4 th oil watch an see th mater is in th court already justice shall prevail
Mr Owerri, this platform is meant for serious and unbiased opinions, discussions and analyses. There is no tribe or nation that all forms of crime do not obtain. Imagine two whole families standing the chance of untimely elimination from the surface earth(if convicted) because of unGodly ambition. May God have mercy on them.
Were are the people saying last time ttheonly Igbos commit crime. in Africa I think Kogi is part of Igbo land. Haters who forget to understand that, there are bad people all over the world and no tribe has monopoly over crime.
May God grant the soul of the young girl eternal rest.
What is really happening in this country, God help us ooooooooo
think twice uwerri 2 generalised a things is nt an easy task, u better 2 conduct a research b/4 u start
What an odd world?
May the soul of the innocent girl rest in everlasting pace AMEN.may the good GOD of mercy have mercy on us in JESUS NAME AMEN.
thank you very much the police commissioner. may God bless you
thank you mr commissioner. may God reward you.
What type of Nigeria are we living in? People are wicked. The Government should do something in terms of security. There’s real security problem in NIgeria. People are really wicked
THANK GOD NIGERIA WILL END SOON, FROM MUBI, TO UNIPORT TO THIS GIRL WHEN WILL IT END

MAY HER YOUNG SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN.
It’s unfortunate that human beings doesnot have feelns on fellow sisters or brothers any more.why do we allows the forfilments of end time 2 start frm us.may the soul of the innocent girl rest in peace.
Which way Nigeria? God do nt look at our sins, save dis nation
The end is really at hand. People should repent and turn away from their evil ways. God pls let the wickend not go unpunish amen.
Is too bad that some people doesn’t value other peoples life but thank god that what ever that is done is secret will someday be open on a broad day. My opinion is that the girl can never jump into the freezer as they claimed she’s not new in the house as not to know how to go about a normal cleaning.
Well only God knows hw it happens, i can’t dictate or predict
Why all these evil in this country!
LITTLE Girl.May ur soul rest in peace Amen.4 d living,cAN We MAKE HEAVEN WITH ALL THESE CRIMES ? U MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF UR LIFE AT D END.iTS INEVITABLE OOH
Na Yaruba saints nah, dey neva do bad b4, this is just dia normal way doing things. Baby killers
May her humble soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!
It’s so sad that such killings should happen in this nation, insecurity remains our problem…may God Almighty grant those student enternal rest..may He also give their beloved one the grace to bear such loss and forgive the entire community of ALUU.
I believe that such killing lasted for hour and still yet non of the security agents where alerted..
Nigeria is still lacking,had it been we have CCTV cameras at all strategic locations in this country linked with security personnels,they will be able to monitor all activities of the public and stop such ugly and deadly act of the people.
But remember to install a well equipped CCTV security devices around the environment where your biznes is situated cos of the current security challenges facing this nation.

i must say that nigerians are first in terms of all bad things happening.
Evans and Uguru, small minds, the issue at hand is murder of an innocent girl. If your people were to be contesting world cup very year on titular murder, you will always get to the finals of the tournament if not out rightly win the world cup. So is also every vices under the sun
She was killed, pathology can not be doubted. no more no less. My fear is both the police and judicial system in Nigeria which can never be relied upon, if not this woman can never escape execution, and it will become a lesson to others. If nigerian courts sets two examples in each of the states of this fedration ritual killing will become something of the past like NITEL and NIPOST
God bls d dead.
End tym s around d corner.-God bls d dead.
may her soul rest in peace.
Fine police work. Kudos Mr CP.
God should help us in Nigeria.
