The ugly happenings in the recent times in some parts of Nigeria where human beings were being reportedly killed for ritual purposes,called for greater concerned from all and sundry.
Sometimes in 2013, there was a case where a man in his thirties got hooked while trying to exhume a corpse somewhere in Ilobu, a town in Osun State. It was reported that the man,while trying to exhume the said corpse,got hooked inside the grave and eventually gave up the ghost. Among the eye witness, it was reported that a day to the incident, that the man was seen bragging while at a beer parlour, that this time tomorrow, he would be a rich man. Of course nobody would have wished him otherwise as there's nothing that God can not do. There have been cases of an unknown persons exhuming copses in the community for long. But no one has ever been caught.
Also, some couple of years ago in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, a place, popularly called "Soka", was discovered, where it was discovered that human beings, having being kidnapped, were being taken to for rituals. Information has it that some fresh human parts and some containers containing human blood were discovered, as well as some decomposing human parts.
Recently, in Osun State, a female student of the Osun State University, Ipetu-Ijesha campus, boarded a public transport, even from one of the town's motor parks to Oshogbo,the State's capital. Information has it that the innocent lady fell into the wrong hand of the vehicle's driver himself,having being hypnotized and was taken to an herbalist who had earlier bargained with him. The driver, having been caught,confessed to have received a sum of ten thousand naira from the herbalist as a reward for the work he had done for him.
Not quite long ago also, a man in a private vehicle was caught with a female human parts inside the Boot of his vehicle having being ordered by the security operatives to open it during one of their stop and search operations on the road.
In all these cases and even some that were not officially reported or even known, the question is that ; Are we to live in this world forever ? Or that those that are into this dastardly act do not have blood flowing in their veins? Or that they fail to realize that their victims were equally human beings like them ? Or that their conscience have died ?Or that they've no emotions ? Or that,... .
There's a common saying that, it takes two to tangle. In all the cases of the ritual killings, information have it that there have been some influential individuals in the society who have been patronizing them to buy those human parts from them. This has made it extremely difficult to really prosecute both the "sellers" and the "buyers" of these illegal commodities. Sometimes the law enforcement agents are "helpless" to actually prosecute these wicked souls of their dastardly deeds because of those involved.
If however, these ugly scenario is not properly checked or totally put to a stop, it may come to a situation whereby these people would just be publicly kidnapping people on broad day light for their ritual activities with nobody dare to check them.
For this not to happen,the following are some suggestions that could be
employed :
* INSTALLATION OF CCTV CAMERAS IN ALL STRATEGIC POSITIONS :
As done in advanced countries of the world, there's need for us in Nigeria also to install CCTV cameras all over some strategic position,so that peoples movements could be monitored, especially those with evil intentions could easily be detected before raining an havoc on innocent and peace loving people.
* ONCE A CASE OR CASES OF KIDNAPPING OR HUMAN KILLINGS ARE ESTABLISHED AT A COMPETENT LAW COURT, THE CULPRITS SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY THE SUPREME PRICE :
In other words, there should be an eye for an eye principle. Once a person is confirmed guilty of kidnapping or killing of another person(s) in a competent law court, such must equally be killed without no options.
* RELIGION EDUCATION SHOULD BE FULLY RE - INTRODUCE BACK INTO OUR EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM FROM THE PRIMARY TO THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL :
The Scriptures says that, "my people are perishing for lack of knowledge". Because as of today, that the religion education is no longer made compulsory as part of our educational curriculum, our younger generation are beginning to doubt the existence of God. The fear of God seems not to again be in their minds.
* TEACHING OF THE WORDS OF GOD TO THE CHILDREN BY THE PARENTS:
It's quite unfortunate these days that the majority of our parents have little or no time for their children to inculcate the fear of God in them through the teaching of God's will with them. Everything is money,money and money. Worst still,some of the parents would leave home early in the morning and will not return back home until 11 pm.
