Ibadan: Aged Man Set Ablaze For Allegedly Turning Students Into Yam (Video)

An aged man suspected to be a ritualist has been set ablaze in Ibadan, Oyo state.

The aged man whose name could not be ascertained was killed and set ablaze on December 3, 2021.

The suspected ritualist was arrested by the angry residents of Ashi, Bodija and Akobo for allegedly turning two students of Bashorun Ojoo High School into tubers of yam.

The incident occurred at the front of the school and sources said that the man was arrested when it was discovered that he turned the students into tubers of yam.

All efforts made by the residents to prevail on him to turn them back proved abortive.

His inability to provide concrete answers made the angry residents set him ablaze.

The remains of the suspect were later dumped at the front of the school fence.

In a video, the man was tied with a rope with two tubers of yam placed before him. It was however unclear if he actually turned the students into the tubers of yam.
