Ritualists disguise as beggars in Abuja
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that residents of Abuja had been warned against giving arms to every beggar they meet on the streets of the nation's capital city.
It was gathered that these beggars usually take advantage of unsuspecting residents to perpetuate their evil plans.
During a programme monitored on Silverbird’s Rythm 94.7FM Abuja, it was gathered that some ritualists took advantage of the Cultural/Tourism Fiesta in Abuja Tagged, ‘Abuja Carnival 2012 – Carnival of Peace and Harmony’ to carry out their ungodly acts.
The suspected criminals were said to have disguised as beggars seeking arms from unsuspecting carnival attendees, to unexplainably steal their sight and vital body organs.
One of such incidents occurred when a woman supposedly gave arms to a beggar who approached her in the front passenger’s seat of her husband’s car, only for her to discover that she couldn’t see with her eyes anymore.
She was said to have immediately raised alarm which attracted sympathizers including policemen and together with her husband, they apprehended the said beggar who confessed to being a member of a larger cartel that specialises in the sale of human body parts to ritualists.
