NO HEADLESS BODIES WERE DUMPED BY A RANGE ROVER IN IJEBU ODE! - NIGERIA POLICE

Well, BBM in Nigeria had been agog with the rumour about three headless bodies of three suspected female students being thrown out from a Range Rover and dumped an area in Ijebu Ode. Now the Nigeria Police has debunked the rumour.

According to the Ogun State Police Command, through its spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, who told Punch correspondent that the rumours were mischievous and simply untrue. In his words, he said:

“When I heard about it, I alerted our men who went there but saw nothing and got no report of such thing in the area".

Punch Newspaper also reported that, many residents of the town, who read the broadcast, abandoned their activities and went to Ijebu Ode-Ibadan Road in search of the corpses. One of them, Tolu Olaleye, said, “We have been here for the past three hours searching all the bushes, but we are yet to see anything. People have turned this road to tourist centre.”

A visit to UNILAG by PUNCH Metro showed that there was no student in its database with the name of Yetunde Ajao. A source said school officials had cross referenced the institution’s data with the name without success.

The cooked up BBM broadcast reads:

“Three headless bodies suspected to be that of females were thrown off a Range Rover Sport Jeep at Ijebu Ode-Ibadan Road just now.
One is fair in complexion with University of Lagos identity card (Yetunde Ajao) inside her bag. The second is an Olabisi Onabanjo University student, Oyindamola Esan, also fair in complexion and tall.
The last one is short, plump and dark with no identity. Please kindly notify their families and friends if you know them before the bodies are run over by vehicles."
