A commercial driver, Abdulfatai AbdulGaniyu, told PUNCH Metro, “I saw the…bodies of these people in the morning when I was carrying passengers from Ojoo to Toose today. The case looks like a ritual because one of them was beheaded.”
Another source, who did not want his name in print, said, “Passengers who are looking for cheap prices, cheap buses are normally staying at that bus stop to board their vehicles to either Oyo, Ogbomoso, Ilorin and even Jebba. They cannot afford the fare at the Terminal, and that’s why they stay there. But this particular case is quite different because some of their vital organs were removed.”
