Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The mutilated body of a missing 12-year-old boy, John Soyinka, was on Monday found in a bush at Kotogbo community in Asero Estate, Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s eyes were plucked out, and his wrists cut off, according to the Ogun State Police Command.<\/p>\n

Soyinka was declared missing a week ago and the matter was reported at the Obantoko Police Station in Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the discovery of the dead body to newsmen on Wednesday in Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

Odutola said that the gruesome murder of Soyinka had changed the case to a homicide.<\/p>\n

She said that the body had been released to the family for burial, adding that investigation was ongoing to unravel perpetrators of the crime<\/p>\n

A resident of the area, who pleaded anonymity, told newsmen that the boy disappeared after he went to see a customer who had done a transaction at a POS shop where the deceased assisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the boy very well. He is about 12-years-old and lived with his mother who I guess is no longer with her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis mother does menial jobs like helping people to sweep.<\/p>\n

\u201d What we heard was that, last Thursday, he said he wanted to check on a customer who did POS transactions, apparently maybe there was something to sort out about the transaction, but the boy never came back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boy and his mother lived at Olasunkanmi community and so the Community Development Association reported the matter to the Divisional Police Officer at Obantoko Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPO informed the police at Adigbe and Lafenwa, but it was the boy\u2019s corpse that was seen at Kotogbo community, just beside Olasunkanmi on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two communities are inside Asero Estate, Abeokuta. It is suspected to be a case of ritual killing because the boy\u2019s eyes were removed while his wrists were also cut off,\u201d he said.(NAN)<\/p>\n
