A Director in the Ondo State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), Gbenga Olofinmoyegun, who was declared missing on Thursday, has been beheaded by his abductors.
The incident was confirmed by the Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Funmilayo Odunlami, noting that the mutilated corpse of the director was found on Saturday in Akure, the state capital.
Odunlami said the deceased was identified by some people through the suit he wore before he went missing.

“When the police got there to remove the corpse some people came around and identified him as the director we have been searching for in the past three days.
“It was his suit they used to identify him, but his head has been cut off and his chest ripped open while his intestine was removed,” Odunlami said.
The police spokesperson said that investigation was ongoing to unravel the circumstances behind the killing of the TESCOM Director.
“Investigation has started, his phone was left behind and some other things too. So, we are going to work with what we have to know if he had issues with anybody.
“And maybe it’s a ritual case, but it is investigation that will reveal all these,” she said.
