When they were rounded up and interrogated, five of the suspects confessed to be hired agents for ritual killers The remaining five, confirmed to be real lunatics, were set free. Items found on the agents for the ritual killers include N5, 000 recharge cards, expensive mobile phones and human parts. One of the agents, who claimed to be a graduate of the University of Ibadan, said he ventured into ritual business due to joblessness. Another agent confessed that he used to kidnap people, including children and take them to a community called Ibere in the Ogo-Oluwa Local Government Area for ritual killings. Confirming the incident, the leader of the vigilante group, Mr. Yinusa Tijani, said they were arrested following a tip off by concerned residents. Tijani hinted that those arrested have been handed over to Operation Burst for further investigation. The chairman of the council, Segun Adibi, who commended efforts of the vigilante group, said his administration would leave no stone unturned in fishing out perpetrators of the heinous crime.
