A 14-year-old secondary school pupil, Fathia Ojewoye, has been raped to death at the Agbeloba-Oriyonrin area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The teenager had on Wednesday been declared missing by her parents, but her corpse was found three days after with some of her personal effects in an uncompleted building in the area.
It was gathered that the teenager’s mother had sent her to refill their cooking gas cylinder around the area. She did not return home since then.
Her parents, who became apprehensive, began to search for her, but to no avail, until her body was discovered on Saturday.
Sources said Faithia was last seen with a young man at the time she was going to the gas station. The young man had since fled the area.
The teenager was reportedly defiled in a brutal way and later murdered by the fleeing suspect(s).
The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the ugly incident.
The Ogun State Police Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said investigation had commenced to unravel the mystery behind the brutal killing of the teenager.
He assured that the command would ensure that the perpetrators were apprehended soon.
