By Bose Adelaja LAGOS- Three people were gruesomely murdered; one was seriously injured, another escaped death by the whiskers and one missing, in Odogunyan, Ikorodu, following an attack on four buildings by the suspected dreaded cultists group known as Badoo.

The incident occurred at Numbers 9, 10, 11 and 12, Aliyu Adesanya Street, Olopomeji bus-stop, at about 3am Wednesday but fatality was recorded at No 9 where a family of five was attacked.
According to eye witnesses’ account, The Ikehi’s who lived in a rented apartment at No 9, were last seen, on Tuesday night but at about 4am, a male neighbour identified as ‘Baba Chuckwemeka’ of No 10 alarmed that he escaped being struck with a grinding stone by an unknown person who accessed his building through the window.
The man, who escaped death by whiskers, claimed his assailant who was armed with a grinding stone accessed his apartment through one of the building’s windows but was vigilant enough to have dodged the grinding stone as he wrestled with his assailant who escaped the scene leaving the grinding stone behind as he could not overpower his target.
