A suspected ritualist has been nabbed broad-light at Obadeyi Ajala area of Lagos-Abeokuta expressway. There has resulted in slow movement of traffic from Abule-Egba down to Agbado Ijaye, Toll gate and Sango Otta as onlookers and mob had taken over the vicinity of the incident.
According to reports made available to TalkGlitz, a passerby had heard female’s voice in early hours of Tuesday, August 8, crying for help. After noticing the cry was coming from the underground where the canal is linked at Obadeyi bus stop, Ijaiye Ojokoro, she had to call on others.
The police found their way to the scene at about 8.30 am. One of the eyewitnesses who spoke to TalkGlitz Media, claimed two suspects were involved. According to the eyewitness’s account, they were able to uncover the hiding place where the suspects carried out their evil acts with the aid of soldiers who evaded the secluded territory.
