It took the timely intervention of Amotekun Operatives at lse Local Government to rescue two siblings (names withheld) who were reportedly slaughtered by their father in lse-Ekiti on Sunday 8th February, 2026.
The Command’s Direçtor of Information, Officer Adeleye Adewale in a press release made available to our correspondent in Ado Ekiti on Monday said that the 46-year-old suspect, Mr. Jegede Ojengbede from lse-Ekiti allegedly committed suicide, following his failed mission to snuff lives out of his two daughters;15, and 10-year-olds respectively.
Eye witnesses account revealed that the suspect was a known drug addict and may have embarked on the barbaric act under the influence of high dosage of substance abuse.
As would be expected, the startling incident plunged the entire community into pandemonium even as a search warrant was set for the suspect whose dead body was later found dangling on a tree inside a bush on the outskirts of the town.
Upon the arrival of the Amotekun Operatives at the scene, the two siblings who were almost dead having sustained serious injuries were quickly rushed to an undisclosed hospital in the town where doctors are currently battling to save their lives.
Meanwhile, another eye witness account hinted that certain rituals were immediately performed on the deceased, by traditional chiefs of the town, in line with the tradition of the community on suicide victims.
The Police Division of the town have since embarked on thorough investigation about the matter, after they were officially informed by the Amotekun Operatives of lse-Ekiti.
