Photos: 6 Mutilated Female Bodies Found In Lagos Canal


At about 3.30pm on Sunday December 6, 2015, six female corpses were found in a canal at Anibaba Area, off Akele street in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

The Lagos State Police Command says it is investigating the circumstances leading to the death of the women.
The spokesman of the Lagos State Command, DSP Joseph Offor, told the News Agency of Nigeria, on Tuesday that all the victims are yet to be identified. He also said that the Lagos State Environmental Agency officials have removed the corpses to a public mortuary for autopsy.

No arrests have been made in connection with the findings. The spokesman advised members of the public to report to the nearest police station if any friends or relations are missing.

“On Sunday, five more corpses were seen where the first one was recovered on Thursday. Most of the corpses were headless. We had some whose body parts were missing.”
Speaking also was a landlord who craved anonymity. He said: “I don’t think these ladies are from Ikorodu community because nobody is missing. What I think is that these people are not from this community because, about three weeks ago,  lots of people from different places came in their droves to celebrate Ikorodu Day which was marked with a lot of fanfare and activities. I think that is the only thing that explains the large number of casualties.”
Lagos state police spokesman, DSP Joseph Offor, who confirmed the incident, said policemen from Ijede divisional police station recovered six corpses from Anibaba river in Ikorodu area of Lagos.
“By the time the corpses were discovered, their bodies had started decomposing. So, we had to contact health workers who recovered the corpses to prevent any health hazard. Because of the state of their remains, we couldn’t identify the corpses. We are waiting for the reports of the health workers as investigation has begun,” he said.
