Two suspected ritualists who specialize in luring children with money were nabbed as they stormed nearby schools to perfect criminal operations.
The culprits
These two men came to a school in Alakuko area of Lagos well dressed. The bigger one was pleading with the principal in her office for financial helpf claiming that his wife was in labour. The principal obliged and handed him a thousand naira.
While leaving, they dropped 200 naira without anyone suspecting. A student came to the office later and was about picking the money when the principal cautioned the student.
The principal took the money out to burn it but it refused to burn and in a shocking instant, the money disappeared.
Meanwhile, the ritualists were already at another school about 1km away, about to apply the same tactic.
An eye witness who was at the scene said that the suspects were traced to their new spot, apprehended and interogated before being handed over to the police.
"They were lucky to have not been lynched. The police took them away later. But for the fear that they might be let off the hook, I want the world to see their faces. Note their faces, incase they approach you asking for alms. They are ritualists!", the witness wrote.
