Family of lady murdered in Lagos apartment demands justice

The family of Foejiro Ojite, who was killed, has requested that police authorities see to it that her killers be prosecuted.

According to PINCH Metro, on July 27, 2023, Foejiro, 31, was assassinated in her flat in Ketu's Agiliti neighbourhood of Lagos.

Her suspected attackers also allegedly set fire to the flat after slicing her throat.

She was found dead on the floor with a burned hand after neighbours were alerted by the building's smoke and forced the door open.

The event was confirmed by the police in July, and they added that the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba detectives were looking into it. They also stated that the corpse had been taken away and deposited at the mortuary for an autopsy.

According to an autopsy report from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital dated August 31, 2023, that our correspondent was able to get, she passed away as the result of "sharp force trauma to the neck."

Her father, Michael Eroh, confronted the state police headquarters at the same time and charged that the investigation was not being handled properly.

Additionally, Eroh said that three individuals who had been detained in relation to the murder of her daughter had been freed.

 The distraught father said, “We are not getting a clear direction from the police and I am really worried. The killers made away with her two phones. They withdrew some money from the husband’s bank app on the phone. Two phone numbers were recharged with airtime.

“The police have tracked the phone, recovered them, and arrested three persons but they have also been released. I do not trust the police’s investigation. I need help from whosoever can help me for justice on those who assassinated my daughter.”

 Foejiro’s husband, Ojite Tesywhite, also said the method of investigating the case was poor.
