The residents of Ofatedo in Osun State have been thrown into panic as a sex worker living in the area reportedly developed strange illness by vomiting blood, after an encounter with some suspected ritualists in a hotel around West bypass, Osogbo, the state capital.
Some residents of Adetunji Estate, Osogbo, who spoke on the incident on Sunday disclosed that the sex worker, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, was dumped almost unconscious by some unknown men at the entrance to the street on Friday night.
A resident, who simply identified herself as Tope, revealed that immediately the lady was seen struggling to move after she was dropped by a motorcycle in the area, men of Amotekun Corps were contacted.
Speaking further on the incident, the Field Commander, Osun Amotekun Corps, Mr. Amitolu Shittu, said after receiving distress call, he led the team that visited the scene.
Shittu, who said the victim was able to explain what transpired between her and three suspected ritualists, who had taken her from another hotel located in Ofatedo area, said while still being interrogated, the lady suddenly started vomiting blood.
He said:
“I led the team that visited entrance to Adetunji Estate that evening. Before she started vomiting blood, the lady told me she was living in Ofatedo, though an indigene of Sagamu in Ogun State.
“She said three men had taken her from another hotel in Ofatedo and took her to a hotel around West Bye pass. At the hotel, they told her she would have sex with the three of them, but the lady said she told them she could only have sex with two men.
“While bathing with one of the men, the suspected ritualist hit the lady with a charm on the head and she became almost unconscious.
“She was still talking to me when she started vomiting blood. Because it was late, I asked the night guard working in the area to watch over her, while I arrange ambulance. By the time I returned to the scene, that her friend she told me of, had brought a bus to carry her. It was such a pathetic story.”
Shittu added that the operatives of the corps already had some leads through the mobile phone of the victim and promised that the suspects would be apprehended.
