How I was hypnotized by a rit*alist in Lagos and found myself in Ondo — Boy heading to work

An 18-year-old boy, Segun Bakare, who was hypnotized by a suspected rit*alist while on his way to work in Mushin, Lagos, and taken to Ore, in Ondo State, has narrated how he narrowly escaped.

The unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday morning, August 19, 2021, Vanguard reports.

According to him, “The elderly man wore a native buba and sokoto.  He beckoned me to come, I walked up to him, immediately I got close to him, he held my hand. As soon as he held my hand, he gave me his bag. I don’t know what happened thereafter. I just saw myself following him.

I became a bit conscious of my environment when we got to Ore. That was when we alighted from the vehicle. The man took his bag from me. We were about to board another vehicle when I asked where I was.

I started acting strangely and was shouting that I was on my way to work in Lagos. I didn’t know how I found myself there’. While I was demanding to know how I got there, one man hit me on the chest. But I kept shouting  Lagos!, Lagos!.

By then people had gathered. They asked if the man with me was my father, I said no. I told them I could only remember speaking with him at Isolo in Lagos. That was when the commercial motorcycle operators and other people got interested.

They called the operatives of Amotekun, who took us to their office from where my mother was contacted.”
