Hell was let lose yesterday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, when residents of Akinremi Estate in Adigbe area of Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, discovered another ritualists’ den. Angry youths trooped to the area and set the building ablaze.
Yesterday’s discovery was, however, special as the proprietors also used to breed babies for rituals. This development came barely 24 hours after a ritualists’ den was uncovered in Iyana-Egbado in Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
Policemen from Adigbe Divisional Headquarters in Abeokuta rescued three pregnant ladies, three kids whose ages range between two and four, from the den. The police also arrested wife of the suspected proprietor of the house.
When Reporters visited the scene, some neighbours around the estate explained that one of the victims, a young pregnant woman, escaped from the den, ran into a building located about 200 meters away and pleaded with the occupants to save her from assailants, Wednesday evening.
The victim, who claimed to have hailed from Abia State, was said to have informed the occupants of the building where she sought shelter that her elder sister sold her and her unborn baby to the ritualists for N100,000.
It was further gathered that the ritualists told the lady, who had spent three days in the den that she would stay till she delivered her baby, because her aunt had been paid for the unborn baby.
The police were alerted and reportedly carried out a raid on the premises at 11pm, Wednesday. As the news filtered into Abeokuta metropolis, angry youths, who were mostly students from the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ojere, Abeokuta, reportedly invaded the duplex and carried out a thorough search of the rooms.
The youths discovered an ivory plate containing fresh blood, coffin, effigies, scorpion, assorted charms and other ritual items.
Also discovered were international e-passport and identity cards of junior and senior secondary school students of Sacred Heart Catholic College, Oke-Ilewo who may have been killed by the ritualists.
Several other male and female cloths of white garment worshipers suspected to have fallen victims were also recovered.
The mob set the building ablaze, including two vehicles parked within the premises: a Toyota Camry salon car with number plate LAGOS: EKY 942 AJ and a Mitsubushi salon car, LAGOS: AGL 971 BH.

Nigeria! My Nigeria! Canst thou see that thou needst great deliverance? Thou hast wise citizens but they use their wisdom to destroy thee instead of to develop thee. Oh my poor country, how long wilt thou continue to suffer under some wicked people ye callst thy citizens? How long! Oh How long!

. Guy u r very stupid......God go punish u I swear idiot...
Brother, why would GOD punish him for saying the truth. Here in Malaysia, Yorubas are known for juju. They even go to church with assorted juju in their wallets and pockets. Word of GOD says " speak the truth because it shall set you free". Therefore, GOD would not punish him for speaking the truth unless words of GOD are lies.
