Murder in Ejigbo L.C.D.A in lagos state...a year later

It took me quite a long time to stomach the appauling view i saw via the internet late last year. The view was so gory that I couldn't even write after my last blog on
28th of December. What makes it worse is that it was a clip of a ghastly event that happened right in L.C.D.A where i currently reside,Ejigbo,Lagos state. At the mention of that name,Ejigbo,at least someone's facial or oral expression will show disgust based on most of the series of news reports that the world gets about it and if you are out for a positive report,I am sorry that you are aboard the wrong ferry.
Two ladies were insanely tortured by a group of people who are rumoured probably as of a local branch of the south-western nigerian vigilante group called the Oodua People's Conference(OPC) after they were allegedly accused of stealing pepper from the Iyana-Ejigbo market along the mushin-ikotun expressway.
This incident was said also to have happened around february 2013 which makes the incident probably about less than a month away from being a year old.
It is however a shame that a community with supposed-intellects at the fore-front of its leadership will still have such bizzare dark-aged deed unattended to till the time activists came on air.
According to research,hundreds of the community members spoken to boldly claimed that they got no news of such an activity until it was aired on news networks.
I believe you'll agree with me when I say that the perpetrators of the eventually fatal mugging are long gone or under some sort of protection that will make them quite an eel... Yes,the victims are dead!
The community was not notified and even the chairman is yet to enforce any follow-up plan by the police/investigators rather he is sending festive sms for a yelutide that went sour
These women were harassed,assaulted and defiled with all sorts of objects like bottles,sticks and pepper(red-hot). Even if they had survived,their eyes,genitals and organs would have functioned far below good...
Their groans and blood rests on this land am sure;so will the misery of their families esp. orphaned children
