Emotions ran
high yesterday at Ibeshe Titun, Ikorodu, Lagos, as three family members who
were murdered by some assailants, were buried.
The late
couple, Mr. Lucky Ebhodaghe and Mrs. Margaret Ebhodaghe, and their son,
Jonathan, were buried in their house around 12pm amid tears.
Residents
and members of the Deeper Life Bible Church, where the husband was a member of
the prayer team and the wife, a worker in the ushering section, could not hide
their grief.
Recall that
15-year-old Jonathan, the only child of the family, was participating in the
ongoing West African Secondary School Certificate Examination when the incident
happened.
It was
reported that the assailants tore the window net and cut some burglar-proof
bars to gain access into the house late Monday night.
The suspects
were said to have inflicted machete cuts on the family members, leaving them
for dead.
Their
neighbours were not aware of the incident until the next day, when Jonathan’s
friends and a teacher visited the house to know why he was not in school for
his exams.
The visitors
reportedly met the house locked and peeped through the window, from where they
saw the victims in a pool of blood.
The wife,
Margaret was alleged to have been r*ped by the assailants before she was
killed.
According to
Punch, some residents who identified the killers as members of the Badoo cult,
said the gang had killed many other residents in a similar way.
