LAGOS NOVEMBER 27TH (URHOBOTODAY)-A mother whose five children were allegedly killed by suspected ritualist in Otokutu, Warri, Delta State has slumped and died. The father of the children who also slumped along with his wife is presently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital in Warri, Delta State.
Urhobotoday learnt that the five children whose age ranges between two and eight were sold for N5 million by a tricycle operator whom the mother had been used for conveying the children to school.
It was reported that the deal was blown open when a female friend to the mother of the children called to tell her that her children were not in school. The mother ran to the school but did not see her children. She immediately rushed to the residence of the tricycle operator, who the family had trusted so much and met the man moving his belongings apparently in a bid to escape.
The mother then raised alarm, which led to the tricycle’s operator’s arrest. At the police station, the tricycle operator admitted abducting the five children but could not disclose the whereabout of those he sold the children to.
The suspect however disclosed that he sold the children to a ritualist from the Northern part of the Country.
When all efforts to track the ritualist proved abortive, the mother of the five children slumped and died. Her husband who slumped alongside his wife is currently in a hospital receiving treatment.
