There was pandemonium in the Mile 6 area of Obafemi/Owode local government area of Ogun State, following the abduction and subsequent killing of a 17-year-old schoolgirl, Habeebah Akinsanya.
The teenager, who was a student of Lisabi Grammar School, Abeokuta, was said to have been kidnapped on Friday.

It was gathered that the deceased’s father, Akinsanya Aremu, a member of the So-Safe Corps, reported the kidnapping of his daughter to the Kemta Police Station in Abeokuta, immediately after it occurred.
However, the kidnappers reportedly contacted him shortly afterward, demanding a ransom of N1 million for her release.
Desperate to save his daughter, Aremu complied and transferred the ransom to an Opay account provided by the kidnappers, after they initially shared a UBA account.
Despite fulfilling their demands, the father’s worst fears were realised when he was instructed to retrieve his daughter at a location near Obasa, a few kilometers from the OGTV/Mile 6 area.
It was further gathered that when he arrived at the scene on Sunday morning, he found Habeebah’s lifeless body, mutilated and covered with soldier ants.
