A ritualist’s den reportedly has been
uncovered at Obadeyi Ajala area of Ijaiye, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
Many onlookers were noticed at the
scene of the incident, which, shocked many residents.
According to PM News, it was gathered
that a passers-by had heard female’s voice in the early hours of
Tuesday crying for help.
After noticing that the cry was coming
from the underground where the canal is linked at Obadeyi bus stop,
Ijaiye, she had to draw the attention of other passers-by to the
woman’s cry for help.
The police were said to have been
alerted and came to the scene and rescued the victims and apprehended
the culprits found.
“The police were able to uncover the
hiding place where the suspects carried out their evil acts with the
aid of soldiers who invaded the secluded territory. By 10.00am, the
crowd had already tripled. Onlookers from Agege, Sango, Ifo had
arrived Obadeyi area in Ojokoro to witness the incidence.
“It took several hours to dig into
the den where the suspects had hidden their victims; about two
persons were rescued and taken to the hospital, as they appeared
unconscious. Since security agents were already on the ground, angry
mob were prevented from carrying out a mob attack on the suspect, who
refused to confess to the crime,” an eye witness who craved
anonymity said.
It was gathered that the crowd later
succeeded and set ablaze one of the suspects, but surprisingly to
them, as fire was burning all over him, he appeared unhurt.
It was learnt that the abandoned house
also served as a hideout for the kidnappers before a LAWMA highway
sweeper raised the alarm.
The sweeper reported that she heard the
voice of a woman calling for help from the building situated close to
a canal.
“The suspect boasted that there was
nothing they could do to harm him. Even some moved to dismember him
with machetes and all sorts of weapons, but he wasn’t still
perturbed”, the witness said.
It was gathered that none of the
suspects was killed, as soldier on routine patrol of the area rescued
them from the hands of the angry mobs.
