A woman who was kidnapped by suspected ritualists in Akure, Ondo state,
has narrated her horrifying experience. The victim identified as Oyebade
Funke was reportedly abducted last Thursday, 27th December, 2018.
According to her, she escaped from their den by a divine intervention.
Speaking
with Omo Edema, Funke explained that she went to collect a new ATM Card
at the First City Monument Bank (FCMB) in Oshinle area of Akure, when
she fell into the hand of a commercial motorcyclist who called her by
her name and claimed to have once lived in her father’s house a long
time ago when she was still a little girl. This made her greet him
cheerfully before entering his motorcycle.
She said, “We left
the place, heading towards my destination; a guy just shouted ‘brother’
and began to greet the bike man long time as if it had been long they
saw last. The bike man apologized to me as he stopped to greet the guy.
He eventually asked where the guy was going to and he mentioned market
square area which fell on the same road with where I was going.
“The bike man pleaded with me to allow the guy sit behind my back on the
motorcycle since he was not going far. I accepted them without
suspecting any evil”, explained the victim.
She said the bike man
asked her of address and she mentioned the area and also asked where
she was going from the bank. She said as the guy sat at her back and
they were moving, she lost her senses immediately.
According to her, she discovered she became weak and the bike man headed for a different direction entirely.
Funke said when it was around 3pm, they came in and began to attend to the
captives one after the other. She said they brought in calabashes; one
with a cover taped with a red piece of cloth while other calabashes were
empty.
“I had concluded that was my end. But when the ritual
got to my turn, they placed the calabash on my head and placed an empty
one in front of me. I did not vomit blood. They questioned me again that
who was behind me, but I could not respond to them. “I heard them say
my head refused to harbour evil.
Another person among
them said yes if she refused to vomit that would still not stop the
parts of her body from being used for some other things. But one among
them said they had no buyers of parts of the body for now.”
According to her, “they blindfolded me again and returned me exactly the way and manner they brought me.”
