On one fateful night, a woman was going to a Church for a vigil around 22:30hours but unknowingly to her, she boarded an eighteen-seater bus belonging to the agents of ritualist plying this particular major road in the night. When she entered the bus, she met three able men including the driver in the bus with the hope that the two men besides the driver were passengers like her. Immediately she entered the bus, she became senseless, voiceless and powerless but could see what was going on around her. When the bus got to the bus-stop where she should have alighted, the driver continued on the journey of his mission with his men.
When they got to the next bus-stop, another four men and two women boarded the bus, then the journey continued. On getting to the third bus-stop, two women boarded the same bus in question making five women altogether in the bus. The same thing happened to the women by becoming senseless, voiceless and inactive while the charm did not have any effect on the four men because they were armed robbers but pretended as if they were also charmed. This was how the dreadful journey started proper by heading into
the wilderness where their major mission would be accomplished. The driver drove forty-five kilometres away from the last bus-stop before he swerved into the bush where the ritualist had been seriously waiting for them. Unknowingly to these agents of devil, these four men had guns on them kept in a hidden place because initially they were also going on their ugly operation before being interrupted by the kidnappers so they wanted to see the end of it all.
After driving fifteen kilometres away from the main road into the wilderness, they got to their destination and the driver brought the bus into a halt. In the course of the journey, nobody could utter a word because one of the kidnappers was pointing a loaded gun at them whereas the armed robbers had signalled to themselves on how they would deal with the kidnappers. The driver and the two men asked them to come down from the bus which they aligned. Immediately they alighted from the bus, the passengers came back to their senses while the women among them started crying for their lives. Everywhere was very dark, nobody could run in the presence of gun. In this thick forest, a house was built at the extreme end of the road as a close with only an opening at the back and no other houses could be seen around this vicinity.
After they had all alighted, the driver called somebody on phone that they were around and there was no cause for any alarm. Few minutes later, a tall and heavily muscled man with a skinned head tied only a red wrapper round his waist emerged from the odd building. He shook hands with the driver three times and normally greeted the other two men. Pointing at the passengers, "are they our meats?"The ritualist asked the driver! "Yes!" The driver hurriedly answered! "How many are they?" the ritualist asked. They are nine in number! The driver answered. The ritualist brought out a charm and put it on their head one after the other with the hope that he had tamed them but this charm did not have any effect on them and they all pretended as if they were charmed.The ritualist said "he would be right back" He went into the building and after few minutes, he returned with a big bag full of money and gave it to the driver for their devilish work.
As the driver and his men were about to take their leave, the armed robbers signalled to themselves, brought out their guns and shot the driver, his men and the ritualist dead at the spot. The other passengers were seriously frightened but the armed robbers told them not to be panicked and promised to help them out of the wilderness. They, armed robbers, said they were not interested in their "blood money" and asked if there was anybody interested in the ill-gotten money but they all said no and eager to leave the place in a jiffy before the arrival of the other ritualists. One of the armed robbers in a company of the rest drove them back to the main road, parked the bus by the roadside and told them to find their ways. This is how they were rescued.
