A man, Taiwo Ishola, has allegedly killed two sons of his younger brother, Idowu, after he reportedly kidnapped the children at Abata village in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.

It was gathered that the suspect carried out the killings in a bush in the Mile 6 area of Ajebo, in Abeokuta.

It was learnt that Idowu had raised the alarm after he discovered that his children, nine-year-old Promise and seven-year-old Testimony, were missing.

A source close to the family who spoke on condition of anonymity said on Tuesday that the children went missing last weekend and they were last seen with Taiwo.

The source said, “Idowu started looking for Promise and Testimony.

” After a search in the community, somebody told us that they were last seen with his brother, Taiwo, but since they are brothers, nobody suspected anything.

“It was after their father still didn’t see them after some time that everybody became suspicious.

“Their father was advised to inform the police before it would be too late. I’m still surprised that the lives of innocent children were cut short just like that.”

Another resident in the community, who gave her name as Iya Alimat, disclosed that the community found it shocking when the news reached them that the children were killed.

She said, “It happened on Saturday, but when they did not see the children, they started searching and people said it was Taiwo that took the boys away.

“On Saturday, we got the news that the children had been killed. Their father, after looking everywhere for them and could not find them, decided to inform the police and that was when the matter was exposed.

“How will somebody do that to his brother? We don’t know why he did it. Until we know, I can’t say much about it. But the man should face the wrath of the law.”

Pictures obtained by our correspondent showed Promise and Testimony’s corpses in the bush with their clothes still on them, and with the suspect sitting beside them after he was apprehended.

Scars suspected to have been inflicted by sharp objects were on the face and neck parts of the deceased children.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident said the police immediately went after Taiwo, saying the suspect later confessed to committing the offence.

The PPRO said, “On Saturday, August 5, around 11.30pm, one Idowu Ishola of Abata village, Abeokuta, reported that his two children, Promise and Testimony, were missing.

“He strongly suspected his elder brother, Taiwo Ishola, as he was told by people in the community that they saw the brother when he was taking the children away. (Punch/vitalnewsngr.com)
