Meanwhile , the Chairman of the state chapter of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights , Comrade Kehinde Taiga, has decried the high rate of crime in the state .
Kehinde said the rate of ritual killings , kidnappings , armed robberies , rape cases and others violent crimes had increased under the watch of the police commissioner .
Reacting to Elozino ’ s killing , Kehinde said , "The perpetrators must be brought to justice without any form of compromise . The commissioner of police must wake up from his slumber because justice must be served. The students living in the community said suspected ritualists , popularly called ‘ Yahoo Boys ’ might have killed Elozino .
“Elozino was found dead with her tongue and breasts severed from her body after three days of declaring her missing . It is annoying, so we urge the police commissioner to bring these killers to book without wasting time . ”
