A 17-year old Senior
Secondary School (SSS) 2
student, Ruth Alabi has
narrowly escaped death after
her lover boyfriend lured her
to the herbalist residence at
Olodo area of Ibadan to be
used for money rituals before
she was rescued by vigilante
men .
It was gathered that Ruth
Alabi an SS2 student at an
undisclosed school in Abuja
said she came to spend the
Easter holiday with her

arrested and paraded
alongside the herbalist,
Oladimeji Babatunde Ajala,

Command on Friday.
Giving details while speaking
to newsmen, the state
Commissioner of Police
(CP), Mr Leye Oyebade told
journalists that the suspects
had planned to use the girl
for money making ritual
before the evil planned was
thwarted by the police.
The CP noted that the
suspects were arrested
following a tip-off by a
strategic partner when the
duo were planning to use the
girl for money ritual.
He said ”the victim’s
boyfriend, Chibuike, had
lured her to the herbalist’s
residence at No5, Galilee
street, Olodo area of the
state for the purpose of the
ritual.
“Luck, however ran out on
them when their evil plan
was uncovered through their
conversation which was
overheard by an
eavesdropper. The suspects
confessed to being
fraudsters and that they had
defrauded many innocent
victims in the past,” the CP
said.
The police also recovered a
black Nissan Altima with
registration No. APP 627 CA,
which the police said was
bought with the proceeds
from illegal business.
Other items recovered from
the suspects were some
criminal charms, one statute
in the image of Jesus, two
other statutes and broken
bottles spread on a mat.
Answering questions from
newsmen, the victim, Ruth
Alabi who was accompanied
by her mother said she had
been going out with her
boyfriend in the past four
months until the incident
occurred.
According to her, they
usually meet in front of
Tantalizer before they
proceed to hotel where they
have fun.
“But the day this incident
happened, Easter day, my
boyfriend came with two of
his friends and he asked me
to enter a vehicle which they
brought and they took me to
a hotel where I was asked
what will I drink. I told him
that I will take malt drink,
but he insisted I should take
stout. So, I took a small
bottle of stout. At a point,
one of his friends said I
should come with him into a
hotel room and there he told
me he wants to have sex
with me. I was
uncomfortable with that,
wondering how could that
be. So, I had to lie that I was
in my menstrual cycle.
"After, my boyfriend said I
should accompany him to
another place, but I told him
its already dark, that my
mother has been calling my
phone and that I will like to
return home. He continued to
pester me, until he took me
to the place , and when we
got to a place, he was
calling some of his friends
and I was afraid because it
was already 10pm. That was
all I know.”
The victim was said to have
slumped on their way to the
residence of the herbalist
and this attracted vigilante
men who later called the
police.
When the police came, Ruth
Alabi was rushed to a
nearby hospital in an
unconscious state, before
she was revived.
While in the hospital, the girl
said medical examination
revealed that the stout she
drank was laced with drugs.
Speaking with journalists, the
two suspects denied the plan
to use the girl for ritual
