road to cover their tracks said: “I was called this morning
(Saturday) around 9am and told that there was a corpse on the road. I
came here and saw his body on the expressway. But as we traced its
movement, we discovered that he was dragged to the expressway from a
spot close to the Oworonshoki Bridge.

they dumped him on the road so that the scene would look like an
accident. Vehicles and heavy-duty trucks passing by have torn his body
into pieces so that people will not be able to identify him.”

him. Yemi is not a cultist, but he had friends who were Eiye members.

machete wounds on him, but when it appeared he was not completely dead,
they dragged him to the expressway for oncoming vehicles to finish what
they started.”
