Muhammed,
who was awaiting his call-up letter for the National Youth Service
Corps left home on Saturday to attend a friend’s wedding but didn’t
return….only for his body to be found on Sunday Oct. 5.
The
deceased father said his son had attended a wedding ceremony of one of
the staff members of the company where he’s temporarily working while
awaiting his Youth Service. He tells Punch:
“On
Sunday, he received a text message that they should meet at a hotel in
FESTAC Town for an after-party. He said the party was organised for just
members of staff of the company. He left the house around 4pm and that
was the last time I saw my son alive.”
We
went to Alaba Suru and searched, but we didn’t find him. So, we
reported at the Layeni Police Station which was close to the place. They
told me they saw his corpse on the road and they had taken him to the
mortuary.
I
want the police to make a thorough investigation into my son’s killing.
I believe some people killed him and took his corpse to Suru Alaba to
make it look like he was killed there. He was a gentle and hardworking
son who had been preparing for his NYSC when these wicked people took
him somewhere and killed him.”
A
staff of the company, told Punch that the deceased had been persuaded
not to leave the party on the night of the incident, but he refused.
“Even
the bride, who works in the company and in whose honour the party was
held, asked him if he was going to see a girl or a man, but he didn’t
answer. He just said he had to leave the party because the call was
urgent,” the source said.
