Seven Year-Old Girl Slaughtered in Ekiti

By Ayodele Oni

After an all night search by parents and neighbours in Ado Ekiti, the dead body of  seven-year old Demilade Falade was discovered in a cooler in the house of a Pastor of one of the new generation Churches early Tuesday morning.

Already, the house of the man of God, located at Onala, Balemo area of the State Capital has been set ablaze by irate residents.

There are claims that Demilade was allegedly kidnapped and later murdered by a suspected lunatic, daughter of the Pastor, who is now on the run.

The girl who was sent on an errand by her mother to buy pap around 8.00pm on Monday did not return which prompted her mother to raise an alarm which attracted other neighbours.

It was gathered that a search party was organized throughout the night and checks were made in various houses all to no avail.

The house of the father of the lunatic was first spared from the all night search until early Tuesday morning when his wife, a nurse, returned from work and learnt about what happened previous day.

The wife of the Pastor was said to have raised an alarm which attracted security agents and relations of the deceased that had lost hope of seeing the deceased.

Late Demilade’s corpse was neatly packed inside a cooler while the blood stains had been washed with the Pastor claiming that she was murdered by his lunatic daughter.

The corpse was later removed while the Pastor, father and mother of the suspect were arrested and taken away by security agents.

Sources on the street explained that the deceased girl was a regular visitor to the house of the Pastor, where she used to play with some of her mates.
