a vigilance group in Ibafo, Owode Local Government Area, which the
deceased, aged 47, headed until his death.

A resident of Ajumobi, Boye Ajayi, told firstclass newsline that
John's children gave them a clue that led to the recovery of Alaba's
corpse. He added that his eyes had been gouged.
He said, "Everybody became worried when it was 10pm andBaba
Ruka(Alaba) had not come back home that Sunday. None of his family
members were around when he and John left. But we knew he and John
were close friends. The following day, when we went to John's house,
his two sons had packed their luggage. They told us they heard their
father saying he was going to Makun with Baba Ruka.
"Other members of the vigilance group confirmed that there was a
facility that the duo guard in Makun. We took the children to the
police station and headed for the place. We found his corpse there
with his two eyes removed."

said their father, while going to Makun, had told them to sort
themselves out in case he did not come back.
"We interrogated the children and they told us that their father had
warned that he might never come back home again.
"His children were packing from the area when they were brought to the
station. We are keeping them in the station because they may be
attacked by the family members of the deceased," he said.
