Ashawo Girls Mourned for Slain Colleagues

Iranu...abacha! There was mild drama in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Monday night, as scores of commercial s*x workers staged a candlelight procession in honour of their colleagues, who were allegedly killed by suspected ritualists in parts of the state.

Dressed in black apparels, the s*x workers, stormed the state secretariat of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, wailing as they mourned their colleagues.
One of the dead, simply identified as Sitira, was found dead at a refuse dump site at Olomoore junction in the Abeokuta metropolis on Sunday morning.
Some heartless ritualists were said to have abandoned the corpse of the 23-year-old prostitute after severing some flesh from her body.
The late Sitira was said to have been thrown off a moving Sport Utility Vehicle, SUV, along Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway. Speaking with reporters, the protesters claimed that beside Sitira, another of their ashawo colleague was killed by suspected ritualists.
They said the mutilated remains of the second lady was discovered in a ditch at Olomoore, Abeokuta.
During the procession, about 50 commercial s*x workers, plying their trade in Abeokuta, converged on the NUJ secretariat and at the nearby residence of ex-Nigeria Leader, Chief Ernest Shonekan.
Some of the girls identified Sitira with different names: Titi and Folake.
Bearing candle sticks, they sang, wailed and rained curses on the killers of their ashawo colleagues.
