The Ogun State Police Command has uncovered
another suspected ritual killers’ den in Unity
and Peace Estate along Itele-Lafenwa Road, Ota
in the Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area.
Thanks to the 28-year-old lady, who escaped
after being kept in an uncompleted building in
the estate, bound hands and feet.
The lady was said to have been abducted,
blindfolded, gagged and dumped in the den. She
was reportedly told by her captors that they
would come for her in the night on Wednesday.
But she was struggled to free herself and
rolled towards the entrance of the building.
It was learnt that some pa$$ersby in the area
saw her and came to her rescue.
Policemen from
the Itele
Police Station, who were later invited to the
scene, were said to have cordoned off the area.
Punch Metro reports that when the policemen
combed the surroundings of the uncompleted
building, decomposing bodies of two female
victims were said to have been found. Suspected
bones of other victims also littered the place.
The lady told PUNCH Metro that she had met one
of her captors two weeks before the incident,
and they started a relationship.
She explained that the man called her on Monday
that he had secured a contract of N1.5m for her
at a site in the estate. She added that the man
told her that she would supply bags of cement
worth that amount.
The victim said on getting to the site, the
lover, was joined by another person, who
abducted her.
“I met one of the ritual killers about two
weeks ago and we started a relationship. The
guy told me that he was a contractor and
promised to link me up with people who would
give me juicy contracts.
The man called me two days ago and told me
about a contract worth about N1.5m, but I
could not meet him because I was sick. The
man later came to my residence in Lagos and
still persuaded me to come for the deal.
On getting to the Unity and Peace Estate, we
headed for an uncompleted building. One other
person joined us. When we got to the building,
I saw that the house had been plastered and
the floor had been cemented.
But both of them pounced on me, beat me up
and attempted to rape me. I was having my
monthly flow and that dissuaded them. They
then tied my hands and legs, blindfolded and
gagged me. They promised to come back at
night to complete their a$$ignment. It was a
miracle that pa$$ers-by rescued me.”
Some residents of the community, who spoke
with journalists, said they were startled at
the discovery. Some of them claimed that they
always smelt some unpleasant odour from the
area, but believed it emanated from a poultry
farm nearby.
It was gathered that the policemen had arrested
the owner of the building, while the suspected
ritual killers had fled.
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident. He said
two decomposing bodies and some human skeletons
were recovered from the scene. He said:
“The command has taken over the building and
our men will take some samples from the scene
for forensic analysis to a$$ist in
investigation.”
