An woman suspected to be a ritualist was burnt recently opposite
Adeyemi College of Education in Ondo State while she was accused of
kidnapping a child of 7years old when her mother raised an alarm which attracted a huge crowd and as a result
she was set ablaze by angry youths.
The victim according to eye witnesses said that she has been involved in four (4) kidnappings within the state capital and the main town of Ondo which were for ritual purposes.
A source said that the deceased was standing by the road while she was holding a toy baby designed with charms in her hand to attract the young ones to be used for ritual purposes.
Authoritative sources recall that another kidnapper was also
apprehended when he tried to kidnap a young boy along barrack road
in Ondo West local government area of Ondo State, when both the young and old,
including ex-military officials came to the aid of the young boy revolted.
A reliable source close to the Oba Adesida of Ondo state said that a directive has been given to the general public pointing out that any ritualist caught in the state should be killed immediately in order to serve as a warning to those that perpetrate the act.
