A candidate in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination has been murdered in Ibeshe Tuntun, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, by suspected ritual killers.
The pupil’s parents were also hacked to death in what was said to be a recurrence of the killings perpetrated by the assailants in the community.
The teenager, identified as Lucky Ebhodaghe, was the only child of the family.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the killers had torn the window net and cut some burglar-proof bars to gain access into the victims’ apartment late Monday night.
They were said to have inflicted machete cuts on the family members, leaving them for dead.
Punch correspondent gathered that neighbours of the deceased were not aware of the incident until around 12pm on Tuesday, when Ebhodaghe’s friends and a teacher visited the residence to know why he was not in school for the exams.
A resident, who gave his name only as Dosu, said, “It was an attack by those criminals called Badoo. They entered the building after cutting the burglar-proof bars. They hacked the couple and their only son to death.
