A bizarre incident occurred, Tuesday night, at the Ijegun, Lagos, branch of Celestial Church of Christ, following the discovery of the bloated bodies of two toddlers inside the Church’s well. The toddlers, two-year-olds and females, were suspected to have strayed.
“When I noticed that my baby was nowhere around the apartment at about 5p.m., I went to look for her. “While the search was on, I decided to get water to wash my face as I was already exhausted. “To my greatest shock, I noticed something was afloat. On closer observation, I discovered they were human beings. I rushed out to alert people, who came to bring out the lifeless bodies.
“But some people suggested we should rush them to the hospital, that they could have fainted. When we got there, my worst fear was confirmed.” Some residents, however, said the children could have been murdered and thrown inside the well as, according to them, the well was closed. One of them said: “Why should the well be closed if indeed the children fell in. It should have remained opened. We suspect foul play, but we leave that to the Police to ascertain.”
