An abducted 28 year old
lady narrowly escaped death by ritualists after unknowingly dating one
of them who later her tricked her to the dungeon with a N1.5m contract.
It was gathered that the lady, was kept in an uncompleted building in Unity and
Peace
Estate along Itele-Lafenwa Road, Ota in the Ado Odo-Ota Local
Government Area with bound hands and feet after she was abducted,
blindfolded, gagged by the ritualists.
Some
passersby in the area saw her and came to her rescue after she struggled
to free herself to no avail and rolled towards the entrance of the
building.
Speaking to PUNCH, the Lady said 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, her lover, was joined by another person, who abducted her.
She
said, “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 on Wednesday night to complete their assignment. It was a
miracle that passers-by rescued me.”
When
police officers from the Itele Police Station, Ogun State Police
Command combed the surroundings of the uncompleted building, decomposing
bodies of two female victims and suspected bones of many other
victims were said to have been found littered around the building.
Residents
of the community said they were startled at the discovery. Some claimed
they smelled unpleasant odour from the area, but believed it emanated
from a poultry farm nearby.
The
state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the
incident said the owner of the building has been arrested while the
suspected ritual killers had fled.
He also confirmed that two decomposing bodies and some human skeletons were recovered from the scene.
“The
command has taken over the building and our men will take some samples
from the scene for forensic analysis to assist in investigation,” he
added.
