A middle-aged woman, Mrs. Patience Igho, recently narrated how she escaped from kidnapper’s den in Agbara forests at the outskirts of Ogun State.
The traumatized Igho said she could not believe what she saw inside the forest after she was drugged inside a commercial bus on her way to Boundary Market in Ajegunle, Lagos.
The distraught woman, who sells frozen fish told Crime Guard that she saw no fewer than 200 victims, who were held hostage.
Consequently, she called on the relevant security agencies to quickly intervene and rescue the helpless people.
Narrating her ugly experience, she said:“The incident happened in the early hours of the day. I left my house with N130, 000 to be deposited in the bank. I boarded a commercial bus with four women and two men already seated.
I cannot rightly recall the registration number. I later found myself in Agbara forest. It was after I regained consciousness that I found myself with over 200 people. One of them told me that I was at Agbara forest.
The person told me that some of them have been there for over seven months.
Threats
“While I was still trying to ascertain where I was, our captors came and asked us to drink water from one dirty container which I refused. They threatened to kill me if I insisted but I vehemently refused prompting them to vow that I must be the first to be sacrificed.
Fortunately after the threats, they left me for another victim stating that nothing will stop them from sacrificing me. Later, they stripped all of us naked and shaved our hairs after which they placed them inside a pot.
“They also brought another set of victims into the forest at about 9:00am. I was able to know the time from a big wall clock that was placed before us. These new set included a young lady and a man and their hairs were already shaved. They later shaved also our private part and armpit in preparation for their ritual.’’
Another victim’s experience
“ Few hours later, I was surprised to see another victim, a woman, who said she had spent over months in captivity. She boldly commended me for not taking the water they offered me saying that if I had taken it, I would have been unconscious and accept every of their demands ,adding that she is a mother of four.
She said she was captured with her four children on their way to church on a Sunday morning. Three of her children, she said, had been slaughtered.’’
“What followed later was that they brought the boiling pot where our hairs were thrown into and tried to force us to recite some incantations.
Earlier before that, I had seen a young lady who was brought before the pot to recite such words bearing a tattoo of scorpion on her right arms but she screamed Jesus! When the man that was performing the incantation saw the tattoo on her body, he refused to perform the rites on her, saying her blood was contaminated already.
At this stage, we noticed that there were different buckets for sensitive parts like head, ears, private parts, etc. they were placed on top of a slab which butchers use in killing animals. The bold woman told us that politicians and ritualists thronged to the place to buy those parts.
My Freedom
“While all these were going on, I did not know that one of the ritualists was watching me. At some point when I refused to recite those words, the man who looked like their leader ordered that I should be beaten up which they did. While they were at it, I shouted severally, Jesus!
And I even called many names ascribed to God. Fortunately, on hearing my strident voice calling on the creator, their leader rushed out and ordered the boys to dispose me at the nearest Bus-Stop.’’
“The gang members threw me inside the bus and dropped me at the back of Agbara market. Still in shock, I trekked from that market to Federal Government College, Ijanikin to beg for money from my relatives who stay in that area.
It was like a nightmare but I experienced it and survived by the special grace of God. I will not wish my worst enemy to go through what I passed through because it was so traumatizing .
That is why I am passionately calling on security agencies to move into action and raid all those hide outs because some people are still there helplessly waiting to be rescued.”

Nigeria ha!!!!! I fear going back home. In 2014 this is still happening?! I pray for God's protection for my people still stuck in that country. While the rest of the world is moving rapidly in science & technology, Africa is regressing into human rituals, witchcraft, religion fanaticism, boko haramism and all sorts of dirty, distressing and heart rendering stuffs. Africa wake up !!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Lagos /Ogun State government and the Police will swing into action. This is terrible.
ReplyDeleteDo we have security agencies? , even the so called security agencies are their agents. The politicians are the ones in government so they are also involved, from the presidency to the common councillors and even politicians below the councillors are all involved. These goes a long way to re-emphasise how desperate, diabolical, fetish etc people entrusted with governance are. They are everywhere,-the churches, the mosques etc. Madam just thank God for saving you and pray for others in captivity. This is just one of such, we have thousands if not millions of Nigerians that unknown in captivity. Every every six hours at least one nigerian gets abducted and unnoticed. The worst are in big cities. The number of missing persons will increase more as the nigerian "do or die " politicians prepare for 2015. Is a pity that we have a clueless government, from the presidency most especially to the local government level. At this point, the common nigerian on the street should tread carefully in other not be among these statistics.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt the authenticity of this story.
ReplyDeleteYou are a retaliate that is the reason why you are doubt it!
DeleteHow much more carefully can we tread? These ritualists are everywhere. May God destroy them all!!. Let people go and set fire to that forest and burn it down. You cannot be killing people and think that God is happy with you. Those who want to live at the expense of other people's lives shall die a horrible death themselves. God is watching and judgment day will come. I pray that God will destroy all the ritualists in Jesus name, Amen.
ReplyDeleteI also expect that all those campaigning for the release of the Chibok girls should also include the rescue and release of these innocent souls captured in this forest. They are Nigerian citizens who have a right to freedom. And NE needs to keep us informed of future outcome of this.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if police or any other security agency or even government itself will ever take any action because law enforcers together with the politicians are all beneficiary to this crime.
