Nursing graduate found dead in Ibadan, body parts missing

There was apprehension in many parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Friday when the body of a young nurse was discovered without a womb after she allegedly went for a night outing.

The nurse, identified as Omoniyi Boluwatife, was found dead and her body evacuated by the police.

According to reports, Boluwatife, a graduate of Lead City University, was on Tuesday inducted into the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.

She had reportedly gone to celebrate her recent induction into the nursing profession at a nightclub on Tuesday night before she was later found dead.

In a viral video, the remains of Boluwatife were seen on the floor.

A source who preferred to be anonymous had told PUNCH Metro that prior to the night the incident happened, Boluwatife accompanied her mother to the motor park after she travelled from Port Harcourt to join her in the celebration.

The source added, “Boluwatife was a member of my church. In fact, she gave testimony about her graduation last week Sunday after she cleared the carry-over course delaying her graduation. She was a gentle person, and to hear the news of her death broke me.”

Reacting to the news of her death, the club where she reportedly went, Copacapana, denied that the incident happened within its premises, adding that its management would not take responsibility for incidents that occur outside its premises.

In a press statement on Friday, it said, “It saddens our heart to hear about the tragic event that happened to some customers after leaving our facility. 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.

Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Adewale Osifeso, proved abortive as calls and messages to his mobile telephone were neither answered nor replied as of press time.

City Round gathered that the incident caused some apprehension among the people of the state and beyond, as many wondered what could have happened to the deceased. Some others mourned her passing as they lamented that the incident simply brought her efforts to an abrupt end.
