There is pandemonium right now at Lagos Abeokuta expressway, just before ijaiye. It was learnt that right on the main road an underground den was dug by ritualists.


According to eyewitnesses, the hole stretches from the first side of the road to the other side of the road down to some streets. This is the place they kill their victims. Their motive is such that they target pedestrians crossing the road early in the morning and late at night, to grab and drag them into the hole.

However, trouble started this morning when they dragged a woman in and a sweeper sighted them. The woman that was grabbed kept screaming and the road sweeper heard and alerted people. That was how the den was uncovered.

One of the ritualists was reportedly caught and burnt to death.
