Oyo Commissioner Debunks Rumours Of Pupils Turned To Yam Tubers At Ibadan School by Nemere2020: 6:42pm On Dec 03, 2021
There was a mild drama at Bashorun area of Ibadan the Capital City of Oyo State on Friday morning as middle aged man who was mistaken for ritualists escaped death by whisker.

The man who was confirmed to be a mentally deranged person was alleged to have turned two pupils of Bashorun High School to tubers of yam, and this resulted in mob attact by some irate youths in the area that almost took his life.

The commissioner for Education AdulRahman Abdu-Raheem who confirmed this to newsmen, said investigations carried out showed that the suspect was just a victim of circumstance.

He described the incident as a mere figment of imagination.

The Commissioner who visited the school of the said students said there was no record of any missing students.

He said investigations have been carried out and it showed that the victim was mentally deranged.

The Commissioner noted that the findings indicate that the accused was sent on an errand to deliver the contents (two tubers of yam and a pack of diapers) in his bag.

He assured parents and residents to go about their normal businesses and ignore the rumour.

DAILY INDEPENDENT gathered that it was earlier reported the said man dropped a certain amount of money on the ground which the children reportedly picked and turned into two tubers of yam.

DAILY INDEPENDENT also had an exclusive interview with the suspect and he denied turning anyone into tubers of yam.

He said, I don’t believe human beings could be turned into a yam, I was sent by gradma to drop the yams found in my possession and diapers to her children.

On getting to her house, the grandma also confirmed that she was the one that sent the man on an errand. She also confirmed that the man is a mentally deranged person.

She said, “I was the one who sent him to go and help me deliver two tubers of yam and two diapers for my children.”

Those that carried the fake news need to be punished. Imagine they even said they saw his corpse in front of the school. What sort of irresponsible reporting is that?

We are in shackles of our own beliefs. I just imagine how his accusers must have laid the accusations with so much confidence when in reality they did not see him do the magic. This happens every other day and in varied forms and some of the victims ain't just lucky to get their names cleared like this one. Others pay the ultimate prize.
I do not believe it is possible to turn a human being into yam. I do not. Infact, it is ridiculous to have such thoughts. I do not believe in magic, if the plenty noise we hear about magic is really true, by now I should have witnessed one or two scenes myself after all these four decades.

Thank God for the prompt intervention by the Nigerian police force.

Please Nigerian's let's avoid spreading unverified news. It can cause chaos in the society.

That victim probably has more IQ than you. I wonder how people believe that a human being could be turned into an object. I’m sure you believe in such nonsense like the mentally disturbed crowd of idiots that attacked and transferred their frustrations on this vulnerable man.

Naija masses…. Always transferring their frustrations on their fellow masses, but they can’t do the same to their oppressors who has subjected them into hardship and frustrate their lives.

It’s the masses that will kill themselves.

I won’t be surprise that it could be one of the lazy youths agbero tout that raised the false alarm, after smoking weed
