The family of lthe deceased has called on the police and relevant authorities to see that investigation is speedily done to get to the bottom of the murder of their daughter.

“Another surprise was that none of her personal belongings were stolen, neither were any of her body parts missing.

The husband too, Mr Adefila, wants justice,” noting that Ikorodu, which was once a peaceful area was now marred with an array of criminal activities which is fast becoming almost a permanent feature in the area.
