Nursing graduate killed, ‘womb removed’ after nightclub outing in Oyo
Omoniyi Boluwatife, a graduate of nursing science at Lead City University, has been found dead – after leaving a nightclub in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
Boluwatife was said to have visited Copacapana Lounge on Wednesday night.
Her lifeless body was, however, discovered on the street the following morning with her stomach reportedly cut open and her womb removed.
She was said to have been killed on the same day of her induction into the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.
In a statement via Instagram, the management of the nightclub said the incident did not happen within their premise.
The club authorities said the police have commenced an investigation, adding that they expect justice to be served.
“It saddens our heart to hear about the tragic events that happened to some customers after leaving our facility,” the statement reads.
“However, as a nightclub, we cannot take responsibility for incidents that occur outside our premises.
Although our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
“It is important to clarify that the incident did not happen in our facility and neither was anyone trailed from our facility.
“The appropriate authority are on top of the situation and we believe that justice will be served at the end of their investigation.”
Attempts to reach Adewale Osifeso, the Oyo police public relations officer, to speak on the matter proved abortive.
Calls and messages put to his telephone number were unanswered — as of the time of this report.
