Ademola Babalola and David OlorunsogoThe Oyo State Police Command, on Monday, dispelled the rumour of the discovery of an underground ritualists’ den in the Benjamin, Eleyele area of Ibadan. In 2014, the police discovered a ritualists’ den at the Soka area of Ibadan, where scores of corpses were discovered and several other victims were found in terrible conditions. Female underwear and other items, which appeared to be like charms, littered the tunnel area, fuelling suspicion that illegal activities were going on in the area before the discovery. A motorcyclist, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondents that policemen were at the scene to arrest the suspected ritualists. He said, “Some mentally ill people were seen around the area by passersby, who suspected that they could be ritualists.
