According to P.M Express, on the fourth day after searching, the corpse of the little boy was recovered in a soak away at 6 Taylor Oliver Street in Ijegun, a suburb of Lagos, while shockingly his joystick was carefully removed with sharp knife.
What reportedly agitated the mind of the residents are the way the boy got missing and how he was found dead without his other parts removed. The residents are suspecting that the boy might have been killed for ritual purposes and not accident of falling inside the soak away pit.
While speaking with a correspondent, one of the residents said that the parents are now afraid that their children in the area are no longer safe as they fear similar fate may await them if the police did not do anything.
