Temu community in the Ikosi-Ejinrin Local Council Development Area, Epe, Lagos State was the scene of tension and confusion, following the death of a 20-year-old student identified as Nureni Kekereowo.
Nureni, a Senior Secondary School 3 student died on October 12, after he indicated that his friends, whom he identified as Daniel who is 19 years old, and Sunday, another teenager, allegedly used him for a ritual.
Nureni, before his death, alleged that two friends invited him over for food, claiming that after he ate the meal, he slept off, only to wake up with a calabash on his head.
A resident, Olatunji Ajao, said the Epe, Lagos State indigene, was in pain while he narrated his ordeal, adding that he died the following day.
He said, “Nureni said his friends, Daniel and Sunday, called him to visit them, but he did not respond. When he eventually went, they gave him food. He said they put something on his head and that was how his neck became stiff and he could not turn it.
“He was in pain throughout the time and became unconscious till he died. The boys are not indigenes of this town; they are from Calabar, Cross River State.”
The victim’s relative, Atinuke, said the 20-year-old was unconscious when he was brought to her shop on Friday, October 7, 2022.
