The sub-dean student’s affairs of the institution, Dr Alex Akanmu sounded this warning, and narrated the student’s kidnap story on Wednesday during student/management interactive programme, organised by the newly elected students union executives in Ilorin on Wednesday.
Akanmu while advising the students to be security conscious said a male student (names undisclosed) was recently kidnapped but escaped being killed for ritual by a whisker.
He said the incident happened about two weeks ago at Government Reserved Area in Ilorin when the victim was offered a lift by unknown person, adding that on entering the vehicle he said he noticed that two other occupants in the car were unconscious, and within a short while he fell unconscious too and later found himself in a ritualist den in Offa town in Kwara State.
Narrating the story, Akanmu said, ‘‘From the Offa branch, they transferred him to another branch of the ritualists in Ogbomoso, they said they have enough boys.
“He was also rejected in Ogbomoso branch on the account that they needed girls and was asked to be set free since he did not suit the purpose for which he was kidnapped.
“But that is not the end of the story, they had his nail cut, asked him to drink his own urine and blood from unknown sources.”
