Lady allegedly used by ‘Yahoo Boys’, dumped on roadside in Osun

A yet-to-be-identified woman was found abandoned by the roadside at Olaiya, Osogbo, Osun State, on Tuesday, raising suspicions that she may be a victim of ritual activity, possibly linked to Yahoo boys.

The woman, who exhibited abnormal behavior, could neither speak nor recognize people or objects, leading to concerns that she might have been subjected to a ritual sacrifice.

She was discovered lying helplessly on Asikolaye Street, where she had been dumped.

Local shop owners, alarmed by the incident, reported the matter to the Dugbe Police Station, Old Garage, through their legal representative, Barrister K.A. Adebisi.

In a formal letter, business owners and residents, represented by Mr. Sikiru Sanni (Samrad Property Agency) and Mrs.

Bamigbola (Mama Dada), called for urgent police intervention to investigate the case and ensure justice is served.

The letter reads, “We act on behalf of the Business owners and residents ably represented by Mr. Sikiru Sanni also known as Samrad Property agency, and Mrs Bamigbola, Mama Dada and others for themselves and on behalf of business owners and residents of Number 1 Asikolaye street, Olaiya Area, Osogbo, to urgently inform you of an abandoned middle aged woman who they woke up to observe this morning 30th September 2024 when they opened their business promises for today activities.

“Sir, we therefore urgently request your good office to take immediate and necessary actions thereon to avoid any untoward consequences.

“In conclusion, as we perform our civic duties as good citizens of this country, we hope that your good office shall respond thereof to our report in public interest, safety and security.
Speaking with newsmen on the development, a resident of the area who simply identified himself as, Baba Lekan, said, “the lady was dumped in the area in the middle of night because, before we went home on Saturday, there was no presence of the lady not until Monday when they resumed for our daily business activities.”

“When we saw her this morning, she could neither talk nor identify anything.
“She was well-dressed but we suspected she has fallen prey into the hands of those yahoo yahoo guys.
