Mr. Fajemidagba Foluso is an elder in the Christ
Apostolic Church, CAC, Mowe in the Obafemi
Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Foluso who recently had a close shave with death
in the hands of persons suspected to be ritual
killers, narrated his ordeal to Vanguard Metro.
According to him, he boarded an inter-state bus at
Mowe on Tuesday November 24, 2015, intending
to alight at Redeemed Bus-Stop. After paying the
N30 fare demanded by the conductor, the bus
which picked seven other passengers, sped off.
Instead of stopping at the Redeemed Camp Bus-
Stop as earlier agreed , the driver headed for the
Ogere interchange. It was at this point that the
passengers became apprehensive and demanded
to know where the driver was taking them to.
Their questions were rebuffed by the speeding
driver who instead, ensured that the windows
were securely closed. The unfortunate passengers
were allegedly striped half-Unclad and
dispossessed of cash and personal belongings
before being transferred to a waiting van at the
Ogere interchange.
Elder Foluso who spoke in an emotion-laden voice,
said one of the victims, a boy who was going to
write an examination on that fateful day, struggled
with their abductors until he was gunned down.
Undeterred by the sad end of the boy, the
gangsters allegedly carried his corpse along with
them until the seven abducted persons were
transferred into a fully air-conditioned van which
was stationed at the Oghere interchange,
ostensibly awaiting the arrival of the "loot".
Recalling what transpired on that fateful day, Elder
Foluso said: ''All the seats in the van had been
removed and we were forced to sit on the floor for
the continuation of the journey to an unknown
destination. At a point, the vehicle veered off the
expressway into a thick forest. But before we left
the expressway, we saw some police check points
and cried aloud for help but to our greatest
surprise, our abductors started exchanging
pleasantries with the uniformed policemen.
At a particular illegal check point, some of the
policemen whom we sought assistance from
retorted, 'help ko, help ni, abeg follow them to
wherever they are taking you to. That's your own
luck…' The unfriendly attitude of the policemen
heightened our fears. We knew at that point that
danger was lurking around the corner hence we
resorted to seeking God's intervention.
The journey inside the forest took almost three
hours before we arrived at a building located on
the rock. As soon as we alighted from the vehicle,
a man came out from the building to exchange
pleasantries with one of our abductors. He spoke
in Yoruba language, ''Melo l'é ko wa l'óte yi''
? (How many did you bring this time around ?).
''Seven plus one dead body''.
This response sparked off an argument as the
man shouted, ''Ki ni mo fe fi oke se? Owo meje ni
maa san o (what am I doiAng with a corpse, I will
pay for seven only). He took a headcount to be
sure that seven people were actually brought into
their den. The vehicle left immediately the man
paid an undisclosed sum of money to our
abductors. We were later divided into two groups
but three of us were put in a room".
Continuing, he said; ''A lady among us was
wounded severally for struggling with them. On
my part, I kept shouting the name of Jesus. It
came to a point that one of the ritualists shouted
from within and ordered me to keep quiet. 'Ta l'o n
pa'riwo ni'beyen,' (Who is making noise over
there?), he barked. I continued shouting the name
of Jesus quietly and few minutes later, one of the
aides who pitied by condition, offered to assist me
to escape.
He asked me to pretend like somebody who was
pressed and wanted to answer the call of nature,
Luckily, this strategy worked out. The guy asked
me to take my clothes and follow him. We trekked
for about an hour before he showed me a bush
path that led to a village and left. I trekked for
another one hour before I got a motorcycle which
took me to the expressway where I stood for a
while before getting a bus to Lagos.
It was during the journey that I realised we were
far away from Elelubo, Ibadan. I was finally
reunited with my family and church members.
That was how a journey of about three minutes
ended up in 24 hours". The plight of Elder Foluso
is synonymous with what hundreds of innocent
people go through on daily basis in the hands of
"one-chance" abductors and ritualists along the
ever-busy Lagos/Ibadan expressway.
BP investigations show that one-chance operators
along the expressway, have adopted new tactics to
trap and rob innocent commuters. Some of the
unlucky commuters are sold at give-away prices to
prospective buyers who in turn, sell them off to
ritual killers who slaughter them and sell to
occultists and other evil persons.
BP learnt that the amount paid is negotiable and
is dependent on the age and sex of the victims.
Similarly, delicate parts of the body like the
breasts, tongues, private parts and nails allegedly
attract higher prices. BP further gathered that
since some states in the South-West, especially
Lagos, introduced security measures to stem the
activities of one-chance operators, they have
shifted their base to the Lagos/Ibadan expressway.
