“While bathing with one of the men, the suspected ritualist hit the lady with a charm on the head and she became almost unconscious.”

“She was still talking to me when she started vomiting blood. Because it was late, I asked the night guard working in the area to watch over her, while I arrange an ambulance. By the time I returned to the scene, that her friend she told me of, had brought a bus to carry her. It was such a pathetic story.”

Shittu said operatives of the corps already had some leads through the mobile phone of the victim and promised that the suspects would be apprehended.
