Pandemonium broke out in Ore, the headquarters of Odigbo Local Government area of Ondo State over the weekend as a 25-year-old man, identified as Sesan Bakare, allegedly killed a middle-aged woman.

The incident which happened at Molasuru street, on Friday evening in Ore, caused panic among residents .

According to a source, the suspect allegedly killed the woman, identified as Aunty Grace, kept her corpse in a “Ghana Must Go” bag and hid it in an uncompleted building.

It was learnt that the suspect’s father is the landlord of the house, where the deceased, a mother of four was a tenant.

Some residents within the area told our correspondent that the suspect who claimed to be a “Yahoo boy,” had been bragging about living an extravagant life.

An eyewitness narrated that they noticed his suspicious movement after he carried out the act and monitored him before he was apprehended.

He said, “I saw the suspect cleaning blood stains on his leg. Then, I asked what happened to him? But he lied that something injured him on the leg.

“I was so inquisitive to know where he wounded so I could assist him with first aid treatment. But he declined and said I should not bother.

“Not quite long, the deceased’s child came to me and asked about her mother, having seen her slippers somewhere in the compound. I told her that her mother should be within the environment.

“Immediately I called her line, it rang, but later said ‘user busy’. So, I ran to another neighbour to ask about the woman’s whereabouts. But all efforts  to locate her proved abortive.

“So, I traced her to where I saw the suspect cleaning his leg. That was when we found a ‘Ghana Must Go’ sack where the suspect kept the dismembered body of the deceased and we raised an alarm in the neighbourhood.

“People ran to the scene, and opened the sack to know may be she was still breathing, but they found she was already dead.”

He said no one had an idea of what transpired between the duo that led to the ugly incident.

The Hope Metro also gathered that the cruel action of the suspect infuriated people around which led to the burning of his father’s house by an angry mob.

A police source who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, said the suspect has been arrested and detained at the police station in Ore.
