A 35-year-old Muslim, Sheikh Yusuf Amzat-Salam, also known as Alfa-Abu, his wife and four children, was shot dead in the early hours of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
The incident took place in Atiba area of Odogbolu Local Government. The oldest child, a girl of 11, her twin brothers, 8 years old and the last female child, 2 years old, are all dead.
All the victims were buried in accordance with Muslim rituals, amid charges of sympathizers and relationships. The attackers, whose motive could not be determined, killed the whole household with machete.
It was gathered that the victims were discovered in the pool of their blood when a school bus got the children. A close family friend, Mr. Yusuf Oludaisi, described the act as indifferent and evil and wondered what the victim had to do to justify such treatment.
"He was someone who grew up with us. I've known him for 30 years to be humble and kind to everyone who has come across his path. It's very sad because it's somebody you'll never see or respect, "Said Oludaisi. .
However, the younger brother of the victim, Alfa Ishaaq Amzat-Salam, said he would judge the case for God to judge. "I leave those who committed such evil in God's hands, for He alone will judge them. The act can not be undone.
"I will always remember my brother forever for his loving love, because he was a light for all of us," Ishaaq said. Senator Gbenga Kaka (Ogun East), who was during the funeral of the victims, described the incident as very sad.
"I'm a good friend at the victim's father and when I heard what happened, I was in shock. It's unthinkable what these people did and it brings a lot of sadness to my heart. I do not even describe the words about Not that, "said Kaka.
Police's Public Relations Officer (PPRO), in Ogun, Bimbola Oyeyemi, said the order was aware of the incident. "We are doing everything to investigate and understand the perpetrators," he said. Simpatizers describe the spiritual as a peaceful, humble and caring individual.
