THE police in Ogun yesterday uncovered a ritualists’ den in Iyana-Ilogbo area near Ifo, in Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

Policemen from Sango Divi­sional Headquarters who stormed the area arrested two middle-aged men alleged to be connected to the activities at the suspected ritualists’ den located inside an abandoned filling station at Iyana Ilogbo Bus Stop, along the La­gos-Abeokuta Expressway.

The arrest of the suspected rit­ualists followed a tip-off by some public-spirited residents of Ilogbo who suspected the activities and movements around the aban­doned filling station.

The suspects, it was gathered, allegedly fingered the owner of the abandoned petrol station where they were nabbed.

Vigilant members of the com­munity were said to have accost­ed the suspects while attempting to take the dead body of their victim away from the abandoned filling station (name withheld).

An eyewitness, who identi­fied himself as Dapo Adebayo told Sunday Sun reporter that the two suspects who came to the area in a vehicle about 4.00 am aroused the curiosity of a member of the community who stepped outside to ease himself at the time.

Adebayo who claimed to be the market leader in the commu­nity gave an account of how the suspects were nabbed: “One of our people who lives very close to the scene went out about 4.00 am this morning to urinate. As he came out from the house, he noticed a vehicle with two people alighting from it, one of them was wearing hijab. He waited for them to come over to where he was standing since that was the only entrance to the community but when he did not see them, he decided to know what had happened to them since the only building they could have disappeared into was the abandoned filling station.

“So he mobilized few other residents. On getting there, they saw the one with hijab standing in front of the petrol station. Curiously, the person turned out to be a Hausa man. Just as they were interrogating him, the sec­ond man emerged from the filling station with a big sack.

“Upon opening the sack, we were shocked to discover the corpse of a man in the sack. They both claimed that the owner of the petrol station sent them. Immediately after that, we invited the police from Sango. The two men are currently with them,” Adebayo said.

Sunday Sun gathered that items such as clothes, shoes, wom­en’s underwear and a school beret bearing Ikotun Grammar School badge were found at the place.

Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Ade­jobi confirmed the arrest of the suspects in a text message.

“Arrest of suspected ritualists on 02/04/2016 about 0700hrs. Upon information received that a group of people suspected to be ritualists gathered at an aban­doned filling station Iyana Ilogbo area, based on this, the DPO and anti-robbery teams immediately moved to the scene where the following suspected ritualists were arrested, one Babatunde Taofeek, ‘M’ and one Hammed Hassan ‘M’. A male dead body was found and recovered at the scene including cutlass, clothes, shoes and cap.

“Meanwhile effort is being made to trace and arrest the owner of the abandoned filling station. The suspects are under interrogation. However, the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State, CP AbdulMajid Ali has ordered the matter be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Abeokuta,” he said.

Ritual republic ,how on earth can an economy of a region be run with ritual money.

As usual one funny Mod will push this quietly to a less visited section where the thread will die and the ritualists will continue to have their way and thrive

Ritual


Lalalalalalalalstical do needful for people to see

What a wicked world , all this just to be rich for a while, Time to pay for their deeds.

Knew it was going to be a sophisticated ritualist den, it's in their veins

Nice one by the NPF
They should also comb those dens in Edo state.

People are dying everyday just for the lazy fellas to get rich.
What a diabolic venture.

Only a ritualists mod will move this thread, this is not an insult but a thought

Is this supposed to be under politics or crime.

Evil world

udekwuebuka:
Is this supposed to be under politics or crime.

It is supposed to be under politics because at the crime section only individual crime like armed robbery, murder, rape but in the political section syndicated crime like insurgency, militancy, ritualism, treasonable felony and political thuggery can be discussed

Lol, the shofisticated are no where to be seen, cowards they are

This topic pain yorubas wella, see them , they are trying to implicate the igbos into their natural trade,

But wait o, who doesn't know that yorubas are synonymous with juju practices, no wonder their yorubawood movies is filled with IFA priest, even after they end the movie, they add, glory be to God. Who are u trying to decieve? , so because one useless IFA priest saved someone, then it means they are doing God's work.

In Yoruba land they believe evil fights evil, darkness fights darkness. No wonder they don't want to drop their traditional practices

Again?

Ndi ala!

Nairaland should just provide a ritual column
because it is becoming more popular than sport these days

Hmmm

Not again...this people no dey tire

And to think many educated pple patronize them.

Picture

ikotun grammar school. oga o

it seems snakes are on strike

When will Africans realise that killing and cutting people into different parts can't make you rich??


YOU CANNNOT PRINT MONEY OUT OF A DEAD BODY. Can't people reason? The dead body prints in dollars/naira and gived it to what CBN governor to sign on??


I mean, mere looking at the people that are ALWAYS caught in this act should show you how wretched they are, despite the fact that it may not be the first time they're doing such rubbish.

The name of the state says it all... no wonder

Dont insult the Lord Ogun if you know whats good for you.

Again ? It is a pity that this people who were favoured geographically, by being the first to receive civilisation and religion, despite the presence of government as the region that host the former capital of Nigeria. In 2016 we still hear stories like this everyday from that region just like the one on frontpage yesterday. My question is, does it mean that this people are yet to embrace civilisation and leave this barbaric act like others? My answer is yes, evidence is everyday ritualist news coming out of there and the brown roof republic that litter their cities

Evil everywhere

God see us thru in Naija.... Amen!
